Tottenham news: Antonio Conte's Dejan Kulusevski task as Jose Mourinho aims dig at Daniel Levy

Here is your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest for Sunday, May 1.

Antonio Conte's Kulusevski task

Having made such an impact following his January transfer move from Juventus, Dejan Kulusevski has been rather quiet in his past two Tottenham appearances.

The Swedish international had minimal influence in the 1-0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion and it was more of the same against Brentford last time out.

With Arsenal building confidence, it's imperative that Antonio Conte finds a way quickly to get the best out of Kulusevski in order to keep the Lilywhites within touching distance of the Gunners.

Bergwijn to start?

Conte faces a decision over whether to inject some new life into his Tottenham team as they welcome Leicester City today.

Spurs have the chance to jump back into fourth place in the Premier League, even if just for a few hours when they take on Brendan Rodgers' men ahead of Arsenal's derby at West Ham.

Here at football.london, the Spurs reporters have named the team they reckon Conte will select for this afternoon's Premier League clash.

Mourinho aims sly dig at Levy

Roma boss Jose Mourinho has described Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy as ‘a unique person in football’ in reference to the decision to sack him days before the club contested last season’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

Interim head coach Ryan Mason took charge of Spurs for the Wembley showpiece which they went on to lose to Pep Guardiola’s side 1-0. Speaking prior to Roma's semi-final first leg clash against Leicester, Mourinho was asked if he was afraid to beat the Foxes in case he was sacked as had happened the previous year at Tottenham. And the veteran boss couldn’t help but to have a sly dig a Levy’s expense.

“No, I’m not afraid I just hope we can win," he told reporters. “I think Roma as a city, as a club, my players, the people that work in the club I think for the work that we all did this season to try to improve the club at every level I think we deserve to be in the final.

“But unfortunately football sometimes doesn’t give what you deserve and to be in the final you have to beat a very good team, with a very good coach and very good players."
