Antonio Conte continues to showboat about his ability to get Tottenham to spend money on players of all ages, with the Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi the latest target on his radar. The 29-year-old Ukraine international is also of interest to – but, of course – Nottingham Forest, but Malinovskyi is thought to be keen on a move to Spurs, possibly on an initial season’s loan with an option to buy at the end of the campaign.
Talking of Forest, they are at least reported to be closing in on Houssem Aouar of Lyon but the clubs are yet to agree for a fee for the 24-year-old midfielder, who has one France cap.
