Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alasdair Gold has been speaking about Tottenham’s January transfer plans after the appointment of Antonio Conte.
Spurs had a busy summer window, signing the likes of Cristian Romero, Emerson Royal and Bryan Gil, but, despite a decent restructure in the summer, Spurs could still do with a few more additions.
Conte needs to be able to reshape the squad in his image, but while Gold says Conte hasn’t spoken to the club about new signings, he claims that the manager is well aware of the limitations the north London club faces in the window.
Gold says that there aren’t huge amounts of money to spend in January, claiming that there may need to be a sale or two to facilitate new purchases.
What’s been said?
Gold spoke about Conte and what he knows about the club’s budget and plans.
“I was told last week that they haven’t actually discussed transfers yet with Conte at the club. I’m sure there would have been some talk of ideas and what they would like and finances, but I’m led to believe that he’s very aware of the situation at Tottenham. I don’t think there’s huge amounts of money to throw around in January, and there may have to be a sale or two to facilitate that,” Gold said.
“I would love to be a fly on the wall in those meetings. I am told that he’s well aware of exactly what the limitations are at Tottenham and what can and can’t be done in these upcoming transfer windows.”
Tight
Anyone hoping for an immediate revolution under Conte may find themselves a little disappointed in January.
Yes, there could be a few additions, but there seemingly won’t be a wholesale reshuffle in north London.
After an expensive summer, it seems as though Spurs simply don’t have the money to facilitate any blockbuster signings at the moment, but luckily, Conte understands this and the task ahead of him at Spurs.
