Tottenham Hotspur's midfield has been given a January clean with some cleverly-struck transfer deadline day deals but there could yet be issues ahead with those leaving.
Antonio Conte made it very clear to the powers that be at Spurs which players he believed the club needed to move on this month and football.london understands that there was a focus on removing unhappy players from the dressing room who would not be regular starters this season under the head coach.
The Italian is keen to steer a happy, tight-knit ship as he looks to compete for a top four spot in the Premier League this campaign and managing director of football Fabio Paratici was tasked with moving the unwanted players on, with some simply not rated by Conte.
