According to The Sun, Daniel Levy is now looking to hand Fabio Paratici an assistant to help him bring new signings to Tottenham this summer.
What’s the story?
Well, the Italian arrived at Spurs back in June, as Levy aimed to improve the recruitment team at Hotspur Way.
Paratici’s arrival led to the departure of Steve Hitchen, who had previously operated as Technical Performance Director after working as Chief Scout in N17.
Hitchen felt marginalised by Paratici, and now, Levy is looking to find a No.2 who can help the Director of Football bring new faces to Spurs this summer.
The Sun believe Antonio Conte wants six new signings at Tottenham, so Paratici is certainly in for a busy summer, to say the least.
So far, Paratici has used his contacts in Italian football to secure the signings of Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierluigi Gollini.
What will Fabio Paratici do at Tottenham this summer?
Six new signings is a lot, so you may be wondering what areas Conte has specifically pinpointed as weak points.
According to The Sun, the 52-year-old wants a centre-back to play on the left of defence alongside Romero and Eric Dier.
Additionally, Conte is keen to sign a new goalkeeper to compete with Hugo Lloris, as Gollini’s season-long loan from Atalanta is set to end soon.
That man could be West Brom glovesman Sam Johnstone, as Spurs believe they’ve beaten Everton to the England international.
A right wing-back is also on the list, as well as a new striker, while Youri Tielemans and Christian Eriksen are being monitored as potential reinforcements for the midfield department.
Paratici is also said to be eyeing a move for Angel Di Maria on a free transfer, a man who once admitted he was upset by links to Spurs.
Evidently, Conte is planning an overhaul at Tottenham this summer.
Only time will tell if Paratici is able to satisfy the demanding Spurs boss.
