Sam Johnstone transfer the first Fabio Paratici must deliver to keep Antonio Conte at Tottenham

Fabio Paratici has admitted that he and Antonio Conte are in constant daily discussions about how to improve the Tottenham Hotspur squad.

Spurs currently sit fourth in the Premier League table heading into the final eight games of the campaign. However, Conte has stated that he needs to be fighting for more than a top four spot next season in order to sate his desire as a manager. That leaves Paratici, with the financial green light required from chairman Daniel Levy, with the job to rebuild Tottenham to a degree that matches the ambition of the head coach, who has made it very clear that he will leave a club if his ambition is not reciprocated by the powers-that-be.

"It's not just my job, the job of my structure, so the scouting department and speaking with the staff and Antonio every day about what we can do to improve this team. It's not just about players but also staff maybe, the best pitches maybe, the best infrastructure," said Paratici during the international break. "So it's normal that when we speak about the summer we speak about recruitment, but we work every day and we speak all the time about what we can do to be better, so we follow like this. We continue to work in this way, in this direction."
