Antonio Conte is already eyeing up three signings at Tottenham Hotspur the Daily Mirror say.

Conte is apparently set to take over at Tottenham and he has been promised big funds by Daniel Levy in discussions over the job, after expressing concerns about their squad.

The Italian boss is apparently eyeing a central defender, right back and a midfielder already, as Spurs look to strengthen.

Clever strategy

All three positions are areas where Tottenham have clearly needed improvement this season.

Spurs have failed to settle upon a central defensive pairing all term, and if Conte does play with a five-man back-line, which seems likely – then a central defender simply has to be a priority.

Tottenham need a leader at the back, and will surely commit a sizeable chunk of their funds to getting one in this summer.

Spurs also will need a right-back, with Serge Aurier suggesting he could depart, and Matt Doherty not convincing in his first season at the club.

Doherty could actually be more suited to playing in a wing-back role, which he was familiar with at Wolves, but the added competition should push him on – if Aurier does depart.
