Tottenham boss Antonio Conte "isn’t happy" with his current options at wing-back and will address the situation in the summer transfer window, according to former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson. Sergio Reguilon and Ryan Sessegnon have both deputised for the injured Matt Doherty in recent weeks but failed to impress.
Conte has regularly changed his wing-backs in his favoured 3-4-3 formation, eventually deploying Doherty on the left-hand side. A role in which the Irishman was beginning to thrive until he picked up a season-ending injury during the 4-0 win at Aston Villa, as revealed by football.london.
In his absence Spurs have failed to score or register a single shot on target against Brighton and Brentford respectively, and whilst this isn’t solely down to Doherty’s absence they have undoubtedly missed his spark. And Robinson believes that Conte will seek to sign new wing-backs in the summer as he simply does not rate the ones he has at his disposal.
