Tottenham to exploit Man City transfer mistake as talks begin for dream Antonio Conte signing

Tottenham could be set to take advantage of a potential transfer mistake by rivals Manchester City in the January transfer window. It comes as the Lilywhites look to strengthen the squad after a difficult run of recent form in the Premier League, with their goal being a top four finish.

The side started their season off well, but have since fallen off the pace slightly, now sitting fifth and five points behind Manchester United. Manager Antonio Conte has since called last season's fourth-placed finish a "miracle" and has claimed he is on board with the current project.

"Now I am really committed for this club and for Tottenham," the Italian told reporters. "Then there is this project and I signed a contract with this club and I have to accept this project to try to build with the club and to help the club in this project. Then you know during this process it can happen 1,000 things. The club can sack the manager or there are different visions, different situations."
