Tottenham Hotspur are planning to back Antonio Conte fully in the transfer market this summer to ensure the Italian's ambitions can be achieved at the club, football.london understands.
The Italian has surpassed expectations in his first seven months at Spurs, taking them to a fourth-place finish and back into the Champions League. Conte has impressed the Tottenham hierarchy with the way he has knitted the club back together from the fragmented, demoralised outfit left in the wake of the brief Nuno Espirito Santo era.
An emotional rollercoaster of a manager, Conte has poured himself into the job at Spurs and has brought smiles back to those in the corridors of Hotspur Way. The 52-year-old, with his coaching staff, has transformed the fitness and mentality of a Tottenham squad that was bottom of most of the statistical charts and has made them one of the hardest-working sides in the Premier League.
