Tottenham's summer transfer window has been one of the busiest in the Premier League at this stage. Six signings and roughly £90million spent has allowed Antonio Conte to strengthen his squad after an unlikely top four finish last campaign.
The Italian has clearly been backed after his clear desire to bolster his options during the summer after concerns over his squad depth. While it has been a busy start, football.london understands Conte wants to add one or two more new players to his squad before next season, keeping the possibility of further additions firmly open.
Signings could still be made to add to the backline, given the manager's desire to play a back three. Clement Lenglet has joined on loan from Barcelona for the season, but a longer term centre-back transfer could be on the cards.

One player who has often been linked with that role is Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni. The Italy international is highly thought of at just 23-years-old and with the Nerazzurri's financial issues and two-years left on his contract, an exit may be possible.
While talk of the move has gone quiet as of late, Tottenham fans were quick to theorise a transfer for the defender. That's because, as per FC Inter News, Bastoni's agent has been recorded as being in Milan.
That is something that has coincided with Spurs director Fabio Paratici also being in the city for talks with AC Milan over a move for Japhet Tanganga, with supporters quick to suggest there may be a link between the two being there at the same time.
@Ryanlipman77: "Welllll hellooooo….Paritici also in Milan for Tanganga talks."
@TottspursUSA23: "“Give Ale 250k a week or yea, he’s reuniting with Conte."
@HughGrantSimp: "Don't tease me man. Please dude."
@Spurs66264687: "Paratici is also in Milan."
While a move at this stage may be unlikely, fans are still hopeful of a move going through. There's still plenty of time left before the window closes, so plenty more twists and turns may be on the table.
