Tottenham's interest in a reunion with their former midfielder Christian Eriksen is cooling, leaving Manchester United as clear favourites to land the Danish schemer on a free transfer from Inter Milan.
But Spurs are still confident of adding more new faces to Antonio Conte's squad before the rank-and-file squad – minus internationals who were on Nations League duty – report back for pre-season training next week.
Conte has already drafted in Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster but the Italian is keen to bring in at least three more to add depth to his side. Spurs will be playing in the Champions League next season and Conte will know the rigours that places on a season in which he will once again be aiming for a top four finish. .
