Reports: Tottenham to back Conte with six new summer signings (Cartilage Free Captain)

If the stories and reports coming out in the English football media one day after the end of the Premier League season are any indication, Tottenham Hotspur ...

The next step is to show intent by making a few signings early in the window — the new Premier League season begins on Sat. August 6 due to the winter World Cup in Qatar, while the transfer window doesn’t close until Monday, September 1. Multiple media outlets, including the Telegraph, Football.London, and The Athletic (£) are reporting today that, having secured a spot in next year’s Champions League competition, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to back manager Antonio Conte with six new signings in order to convince him to stay at Spurs for an additional season. This includes, according to both sources, six new players that are a mix of young, up-and-coming talents with resale value (Spurs’ bread and butter) along with older, veteran, peak-level players in order to push to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Fraser Forster to have Tottenham medical this week ahead of free ... (Cartilage Free Captain)

As previously stated, Tottenham Hotspur are said to want to make at least six signings this summer in order to appease head coach Antonio Conte.

It also means that his Southampton contract technically expires at the end of June, or Spurs might have had this locked down a while ago. What this likely means is that we can probably expect that Forster’s signing will be announced next week sometime, and possibly on June 1 when the transfer window officially opens. Forster isn’t my first choice for the position, but he does capably fill both roles.

Tottenham transfer window: Why Spurs face most crucial summer ... (iNews)

Qualifying for the Champions League was crucial to Spurs' aims but further improvements are required if the club is to end its long wait for silverware in ...

Conte, Kane and Son are all world-class and the pillars of Spurs’ project. It is also of paramount importance that new signings this summer adapt as quickly as Romero, Bentancur and Kulusevski have to ensure that Spurs are in a position to compete for honours right away. Nobody is quite sure what lies in store for Chelsea, but a takeover could galvanise the club after a slump in 2022. Fast forward to 22 May, 2022 when a beaming Son was being hoisted onto the shoulders of his team-mates after drawing level for goals with Mo Salah, Kane was fist-pumping the Spurs support and Antonio Conte was serenaded by fans drunk on jubilation. Closing the gap on both will be immensely difficult, particularly as Arsenal, Manchester United and maybe even Newcastle, will invest heavily in their squads. Not for the first time, Spurs are approaching a pivotal transfer window.

Antonio Conte Tottenham masterclass has landed Daniel Levy ... (Football.London)

Tottenham have been boosted financially after finishing the 2021/22 Premier League season in fourth.

Boosted financially after sealing fourth spot against Norwich City, all Tottenham fans will be hoping the money will be used to help improve Conte's squad ahead of such a big season for the club. Daniel Levy and Tottenham will also now be set to receive a nice financial windfall based on their final position in the Premier League table. Man City, as Premier League winners, take home the biggest amount at £44m after their late fightback against Aston Villa saw them retain their crown despite a valiant effort from Liverpool. Tottenham fans will be counting down the days until the start of September for the Champions League group stage to commence. We must be pleased for what we did." "It's very very difficult - to reach a place in Champions League I have to consider this a really big big achievement for me and for my players, and also for the club consider this a big achievement after three years Tottenham is able to play again in Champions League. For us it's very important because the best players, the best coaches want to play in this competition, for this trophy.

Tottenham: Antonio Conte returning Spurs to the Champions ... (CBSSports.com)

When Nuno Espirito Santo was fired in November, months after he was hired to lead Spurs, this team could've gone plenty of different ways. But, perhaps, only ...

Entering a critical summer, everything possible must be done to ensure that Spurs' golden manager stays in charge as he has already shown a taste of what he can do without the team even having a preseason under him. Decisions need to be made on the outside back positions and Ben Davies can't be expected to perform at this level as in the left center-back position for an entire season next year but selling Champions League soccer is always easier than selling the hope of it. Fabio Paratici is very aware of Conte's ways and can help ensure that if a target can't be afforded on Spurs' budget that someone comparable can be added. Conte's machine became a team that could beat you in many different ways and their return to Champions League is a signal that better days are on the horizon. There was doubt that this would be a relationship that worked as Levy prefers shopping in the bargain bin while Conte wants top shelf additions -- and some of those questions are still there entering the summer window -- but with that Champions League platform now there (and the extra money that goes along with it), the hope is that Spurs now can offer what Conte's transfer targets are looking for. After a summer window that saw them flit from name to name in their search to replace Jose Mourinho, almost appointing Gennaro Gattuso as manager before finally settling on Nuno, had Spurs got it wrong yet again when Nuno was fired it would have been disastrous.

Harry Kane exclusive: “Antonio Conte has improved me at ... (FourFourTwo USA)

Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane sat down for an in-depth chat with FourFourTwo, ahead of a potentially historic few months.

“Jimmy was an amazing player for club and country – he scored an incredible amount of goals in a short amount of games,” Kane said. “Antonio is a really good manager and I’m really enjoying working with him,” the striker told FFT. “He just brings a real passion, an energy, a real enthusiasm to training and games, and just makes you want to work. “He’s won everywhere he’s gone, so you respect him a lot, and I’m just enjoying it.

Fabrizio: Tottenham Hotspur have triggered Cristian Romero's ... (Cartilage Free Captain)

Cristian Romero will soon be officially, and permanently, a Tottenham Hotspur player. Fabrizio Romano is reporting this evening that Spurs have triggered a ...

I’d also guess that if this was a loan that Spurs probably paid a pretty hefty loan fee to Atalanta in order to get this over the line and what’s due now is the £40m minus whatever fee we paid. It is indeed a loan with option to buy Cristian Romero for £42.5m and five-year contract agreed with player for after initial loan. When we wrote on the signing last summer, it was reported as a €50m (£42.5m) full signing, but apparently that wasn’t quite accurate — it appears as though it was instead one of Fabio Paratici’s classic loan-to-buy deals.

City are probably going to ask for a lot of money — the latest rumors said City quoted Arsenal a fee of £55m — and even with investment that’s a lot of cheddar for a position that arguably isn’t among the biggest needs at Spurs right now. For the past few weeks, it’s been surmised that Gabriel Jesus was likely to leave Manchester City for opportunities at a different Premier League club. With the season done and dusted, it means that silly season is now officially underway.

If they could convince him a return was worthwhile though, Henderson out and Johnstone in would make a whole load of sense if they can attract a big fee for the former. “I can fully understand that he wants to play because he's in an age where as a goalkeeper he should regularly play.
