Don Hutchison has shared that ‘some Tottenham players might be staying at the training ground’, as he has been told by Tim Sherwood.
The BBC pundit told Football Daily that he was speaking with Sherwood, who played and managed Spurs, and he was also told that Antonio Conte is working the players ‘harder’.
Ever since Conte replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at Hotspur Way, Spurs have gone from being the least hard-working players to the hardest working players.
That has been proven by the results because the north London club are unbeaten in Conte’s first seven Premier League matches.
This is what Hutchison had to say about Tottenham training under Conte and what he has been told by Sherwood, who is ‘good friends’ with Harry Kane.
“I was speaking to Tim Sherwood and we were chatting,” said Hutchison.
“This isn’t confirmed. But he was telling me that they might be, because there are only so many facilities that have got hotels and chefs you can stay. Tottenham is one.
“He thinks some of the players might be staying at the training ground in their own little bubble.
“What he did say is that ‘Conte is training them’. I think he is good friends with Harry Kane – I think that’s what he is doing, he is working them harder.”
Perhaps one of the most season-defining months await Tottenham in January because if they get this wrong, then things may well go south.
Three games against Chelsea await them, two of those games are the two-legged affair for their EFL Cup semi-final showdown, including a Premier League game.
They will also lock horns with Arsenal in the north London derby, but before all that, they will start off the New Year by facing relegation-threatened Watford.
Not only are the games going to be crucial, but what the club do off the pitch, in terms of the January transfer window.
