Antonio Conte could receive a mammoth £90million boost to his transfer budget – if he can sell on five players.
Tottenham Hotspur have already been busy in the summer transfer market, signing the likes of Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic on free transfers while parting with £25million to bring in Yves Bissouma from Brighton and £60million to acquire Richarlison from Everton while Clement Lenglet has arrived on loan from Barcelona. As his squad is starting to take shape though, it appears the Spurs careers of five players could be over – and all could fetch a fair price on the transfer market.
It comes as Conte has hinted the club could yet make even more signings before the summer transfer window slams shut. And Son Heung-min has explained what it was like in the dressing room after Conte's brutal pre-season training sessions.
Have your say! Who do you think Tottenham Hotspur should target in the transfer market this summer? Let us know what you think in the comments below
Spurs could get £90m transfer windfall
Tottenham Hotspur could raise £90million by offloading five playerswhich appear to no longer feature in Anontio Conte's plans.
The Spurs boss now has two players in every position for his ideal 3-5-2 tactical set-up, and that's even without the likes of Joe Rodon, Harry Winks, Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso.
According to football.london, those players are valued at £5.9million for Rodon, £12.7million for Winks, £25.4million for Reguilon, £27million for Ndombele and £19.8million for Lo Celso. If all five can be shifted, then, Spurs could have another £90.8million to spend in the summer transfer market.
Conte hints at more signings
Antonio Conte has hinted Spurs could continue to be active inthe transfer market this summer.
The north London club have already welcomed the likes of Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Clement Lenglet, while Djed Spence is also widely expected to complete his transfer in the coming days. And Conte now says "we'll see what happens" for the rest of the transfer window, while insisting that the club is "always looking to strengthen the squad if there is the opportunity".
Son speaks about pre-season training
Spurs forward Son Heung-min has opened up on Antonio Conte's brutal training sessions during pre-season training.
The Tottenham boss made his players do pitch sprints at the end of an open training session during their pre-season tour of South Korea earlier this week. The session was so intense that Son and his teammate Harry Kane both collapsed to the ground at different points.
And, according to football.london, Son has now admitted that the Spurs players barely talked to each other in the changing room after the session – because they wer all too exhausted.
