As reported by the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick, Antonio Conte wants new signings in place of Japhet Tanganga, Pape Matar Sarr and Bryan Gil.

Tanganga has largely been injured and out-of-favour under the Tottenham boss, playing just 17 minutes of football this season.

Last month, CMW had claimed that Spurs were open to selling the versatile defender.

However, a recent photo has emerged of the Englishman training with the club.

As for Pape Matar Sarr, it has been reported by Mucho Deporte that Sevilla are eyeing his signature.

The 20-year-old had an underwhelming loan stint at Metz during his debut season as a Tottenham player and is now struggling for first-team football upon his return to the club.

The same report had also claimed Bryan Gil was another Spurs player on Sevilla’s radar.

While the Spanish winger has shown bright signs for Tottenham this campaign, especially in Europe, he has featured for only 73 minutes in all competitions.

The Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick has reported that Antonio Conte wants new signings in place of Japhet Tanganga, Pape Matar Sarr and Bryan Gil.

Conte reportedly believes that the Tottenham trio are all upgradable players.

Hard to disagree with the Spurs boss

Antonio Conte wants new signings for three clearly upgradable players and ultimately, that’s simply fair.

When the revered coach joined Tottenham, the external expectations were that he is the perfect man to deliver silverware to the club.

Considering Conte is a serial winner, one can say for sure that he too wishes to do the same.

However, it would be a huge ask for the former Chelsea boss to do so if players he feels are expendable continue to stay put at the club.

And that too without finding upgrades to take their places.
