Antonio Conte did not get what he wanted in the last transfer window and the challenge for Tottenham this summer is to make sure that changes.
The Spurs boss wanted to sign the spine of a new team with a defender, midfielder and striker all on his wishlist. He did get a midfielder in Rodrigo Bentancur, and a versatile forward in Dejan Kulusevski, who came in on loan. But neither player was a high priority for Conte, with Spurs failing to land Dusan Vlahovic - their top target up front - and a number of centre-backs.
Managing director Fabio Paratici is now under orders to do better, though Vlahovic will not be coming having signed for Juventus instead. Spurs backed away from a move for Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij in January because the asking price of around £40million was just too high.
