Tottenham could be set to bolster their midfield ranks in the coming weeks as reports claim they have joined Barcelona and Napoli in the race to land a star from the World Cup. It comes as Antonio Conte has bemoaned the gap between his side and those challenging at the top of the Premier League.
Spurs currently find themselves fifth, five points off the top four as their good start to the season has begun to slip away from them and bad habits creep in. There has been plenty of discontent in wake of poor results, with home fans booing the latest loss, to Aston Villa, a 2-0 home defeat on New Year's Day.
"To become a title contender, to become a team ready to fight to win something you need to have a solid foundation," Antonio Conte said on his squad.
