Tottenham manager Antonio Conte reportedly wants six new players to bring his side up to a level where they can challenge the top four in the Premier League.
Despite continually failing to commit himself to the club, the Italian is still under contract for another year, and dismissed stories linking him with Paris Saint-Germain as “fake news.” Chairman Daniel Levy is ready to back his volatile manager - and is ready to give the former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan manager what he needs this summer.
According to Football Insider, the first of those is another centre-back: Inter’s Stefan De Vrij, an integral part of the side Conte won Serie A with, is at the top of his list - and has been told by the club he can leave this summer for £15million. De Vrij, 30, is out of contract in 2023, and Inter need the cash. Aston Villa could provide competition, but expect Conte to go in strong for a player he rates highly and would definitely be an upgrade.
