Antonio Conte has reshaped his midfield options at Tottenham, bringing in Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus and purging the squad of a clutch of attack-minded players.
The manager has delivered a withering assessment of the abilities of the club’s most expensive signings – Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso – and both were ushered towards the exit on Monday. Ndombele has returned to his previous club, Lyon, while Lo Celso has gone to Villarreal, each on loan until the end of the season.
