Antonio Conte is taking charge of his first transfer window as Tottenham Hotspur boss, and he’s apparently very keen to revamp the squad.

Spurs spent a decent chunk in the summer, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not going to try to improve their squad in January.

It’s fair to say that this squad needs a bit of a revamp, especially with Conte looking to stamp his authority with his patented 3-4-3 system.

With recent transfer rumours in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting how Tottenham could line up after the January window.

We think that Spurs could make two signings, and interestingly, they’re both from the Premier League.

One area that Antonio Conte apparently wants to improve is the defence.

Duncan Castles claimed on the Transfer Window Podcast before the window even opened that Spurs want two centre-backs in this window, but due to a lack of credible links thus far, we’re predicting that they’ll only get one.

Eric Bailly is the man Castles said Spurs were keen on, so he slots into the defence.

The midfield remains the same, while Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane keep their places in the attack.

Rumours linking Tottenham with a move for Adama Traore are once again heating up, so he takes his place on the right-wing in this side.
