Antonio Conte has admitted that new Tottenham Hotspur player Djed Spence was someone "the club decided to buy" rather than the Spurs boss pushing for the transfer himself.
The 21-year-old completed his move to Spurs this week in a move worth an initial £12.5million, potentially rising to £20million due to add-ons. And Conte has admitted the player is someone the club wanted to bring in and wasn't a target he had set his sights on at the beginning of the summer transfer window.
It comes as the Tottenham boss has opened up on Paris Saint-Germain's interest in appointing him as their manager at the end of last season. And Spurs have been handed a major James Maddison transfer boost.
