Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has finally met with the Chairman of the club Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici regarding the transfers needed to revitalise his squad. The Italian manager was appointed as the head coach soon after the former boss Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked by the club after just 9 games.

Conte had asked the Spurs Board to give him until January to assess the squad and now that the winter transfer window has started, the Italian finally met with the Chairman of the club to discuss the status of his current squad.

The Italian has had a successful start to life in north London and Spurs look like a proper threat once again to challenge their rivals for the top 4 spot in the Premier League and reclaim a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
