Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly begun their search for Antonio Conte’s successor at Spurs.

The current Tottenham boss appears to be on thin ice following his explosive post-match press conference last week.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs will indeed sack Conte and who they could bring in to replace him.

Now, CMW has published a report about what a Conte departure could mean for the Tottenham players.

The Italian outlet claims two Spurs stars would follow the Italian out of N17 at the end of the season.

Assuming Conte returns to Serie A, they claim Dejan Kulusevski and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg would follow suit.

The Sweden international previously played at Juventus and ‘would have no trouble returning’ to Italy.

Meanwhile, Hojbjerg ‘would willingly accept trying his luck’ in the Italian top flight.

Conflicting reports

Tottenham would suffer a significant blow should Kulusevski and Hojbjerg both leave at the end of the season.

However, neither has hinted at looking for pastures new. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Kulusevski has gone on record to say he’s not looking to leave Tottenham even if Conte goes.

“Conte’s situation will not affect the club’s buy option for me – absolutely not,” the ‘incredible‘ forward told Sky Sports.

“I want to stay at Spurs, of course.”

Meanwhile, Hojbjerg publicly responded to Conte’s comments, suggesting the manager ought to “elaborate” further.

“I understand that if you want to be successful as a team, you need 11 men who are committed to a project and a culture,” he said, as per The Express.

“But I think he has to elaborate on how he feels before you as a player can start measuring and weighing.

“The coach has not been satisfied, and that is what I will take with me. You do what you can to please him.

“What I do know about myself is that I am an honest player. I am a player who always gives 100 per cent of myself for the team.”

You’d like to think that, since Hojbjerg doesn’t seem particularly impressed with Conte’s comments, he wouldn’t be in a rush to follow him to a new club.
