January is undoubtedly set to be an important month for Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte as they seek to add quality depth that can play a significant role in the final few months of the season. Atalanta star Ruslan Malinovskyi, who is a long-term Spurs target, is likely to be on the transfer wish list and could be Fabio Paratici's first January signing.
Conte and Spurs were significantly exposed in the weeks leading up to the World Cup break with Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura all absent at points through injuries. This meant there were heavy expectations on Harry Kane to provide the goals with Conte using Ivan Perisic in the front two for several games.
For the final match before the World Cup break against Leeds, Conte was able to call on Richarlison and Kulusevski and how much Spurs missed their versatile attackers was clear to see.
