Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte asked for more time to weigh up who he wants to sell in January – but will give an answer to Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici very soon.
Football London claim that Conte is set to discuss potential signings and departures in a meeting over the coming days.
Conte will speak with Levy and Paratici in the coming days to try and thrash out Tottenham’s January transfer plans.
It’s claimed that Conte did hold a preliminary discussions with Levy and Paratici a matter of weeks ago, but he requested more time to analyse his players.
We have to remember that Conte only took over as Tottenham boss in November.
Due to three postponements, Conte has only managed five Tottenham league games.
Forming opinions on players in such a short space of time isn’t easy, but final answers from Conte are now expected within days.
Who could Conte axe at Tottenham?
Things don’t look great for Matt Doherty, who has played just over 100 minutes under Conte.
With Emerson Royal first-choice at right wing back and other players being linked in that position, Doherty’s days could be numbered.
Dele Alli and Harry Winks appear to be saving themselves, but Steven Bergwijn could be offloaded with Ajax keen.
Jack Clarke needs a loan move and Joe Rodon’s lack of playing time means he could move on amid links to Newcastle United.
Tottenham do need to shed some bodies before they bring new faces in, with Conte no doubt hoping for business both ways in January.
