Tottenham have hit form at just the right time. Sunday’s 5-1 win over Newcastle was their third victory in a row and saw them leapfrog Arsenal into fourth spot. Antonio Conte’s side will fancy their chances of securing Champions League football with a favourable fixture list and with the Gunners to play on home turf.
If Spurs do go on to clinch fourth spot it will strengthen their hand considerably when it comes to signing new players in the summer. Conte has done a superb job so far but will be keen to push on as he targets success both domestically and on the European stage next season.
The Italian already has the nucleus of a strong side but will want to strengthen in a few key areas, with central midfield thought to be a position he is keen to add more talent and depth to. There’s also the perennial issue of signing another striker which has been a problem in the past given the form and status of Harry Kane, nonetheless three big targets have been linked with the Lilywhites today.
