Fabio Paratici has ten remaining Tottenham transfers to finalise Antonio Conte's dream squad

Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte now have three weeks remaining until the summer transfer window closes for business. A busy period so far at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following six new additions, the Lilywhites may not be done just yet in the market in terms of incomings.

The club do have plenty to do when it comes to outgoings, however, with a number of players still needing to be moved on. So what exactly do Spurs have to accomplish over the next 21 days? football.london takes a look at the ins and outs Spurs need to wrap up.

Incomings

New centre-back

Spurs have options at centre-back at present but they may need to strengthen there if Conte wants to have two players for each position. Joe Rodon's departure on loan to Rennes means there is a vacancy for the central role in the back three, although Clement Lenglet can cover there as well as his role on the left.

New attacking midfielder

Plenty has been said about Tottenham looking to bring in a further attacking option to give Conte another alternative in the final third. Missing an attacking midfielder ever since Christian Eriksen's departure in January 2020, an addition in this area of the pitch would help the boss out if he ever wants to switch to 3-5-2.

Nicolo Zaniolo and James Maddison have been linked with a transfer to N17 and both would undoubtedly add some more quality to Spurs' attack.

Outgoings

Sergio Reguilon

Reguillon now has three weeks to seal a move away from Tottenham as he has no part to play in Conte's plans. Linked with the clubs in Italy and Spain, the left-back was tipped to rejoin former loan side Sevilla but that looks very unlikely after they brought in Alex Telles from Manchester United.

Harry Winks

Linked with Everton earlier in the window, talk over a move to Goodison Park has gone extremely quiet over the last month or so. Not exactly playing a lot of football over the past two seasons as he has been in and out of the matchday squad, Winks desperately needs to secure a move away, whether that be on loan or permanent, before the deadline as more time on the sidelines is no good for him at all.

Bryan Gil

Gil was part of the matchday squad last weekend against Southampton but was an unused substitute in the 4-1 victory. Involved a lot in pre-season, the Spaniard is going to find game time extremely hard to come by over the course of the campaign with so many options ahead of him in Spurs' attack.

Linked with a return to Valencia after a successful loan, another move to the Mestalla may be best for both parties so he can get the regular match action he requires.

Emerson Royal

Paratici and Conte have a decision to make over what they do at right wing-back with three players, as well as Lucas Moura if the boss wants to play him there, available for selection. Emerson started the season in fine style last weekend following a strong end to 2021/22 but he may still be the fall guy if one player moves on.

It would be perhaps harsh on the Brazilian if he is to leave but that is a decision for Paratici and Conte to make.

Giovani Lo Celso

Many thought Lo Celso may have moved on from Spurs by now after a brilliant loan spell at Villarreal but that hasn't been the case. Tipped to return to the Yellow Submarines, Spurs and the player will be hoping they can strike a permanent deal sooner rather than later so both can go their separate ways.

Japhet Tanganga

Talk of a switch to Italy for Tanganga does seem to appear in the headlines every transfer window, with AC Milan and Roma both mentioned so far this summer. Not part of the matchday squad at the weekend and unlikely to get regular game time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium throughout the season, a loan would really benefit the player's game.

Spurs just now need to decide if they keep the player to provide cover and help with their homegrown number issues or allow him to depart.

Tanguy Ndombele

Tottenham may have to let Ndombele leave on loan again as clubs aren't going to be queuing up to sign him on a permanent basis after such a frustrating time in the capital. As is the case with a handful of players at Spurs, both parties need to go their separate ways.

Amid rumours of a switch to Villarreal with Lo Celso, reports in France have now claimed Newcastle United are in 'pole position' for the French international.

Pape Matar Sarr/Harvey White

Tottenham may wait until the end of the transfer window before deciding on what comes next for Sarr and White. Having four fantastic options to choose from in midfield, Saturday's win over Southampton highlighted the need to have a fifth as Oliver Skipp was injured and there were also doubts over Yves Bissouma's fitness after tweaking his hamstring the previous week.

While spending the first part of the campaign with Conte would do Sarr the world of good, it is not the same as heading out on loan and getting that vital match experience. The decision between the two may come down to what is best for the Spurs squad as White does help out with the homegrown numbers.
