Conte casts doubt over Tottenham future
Tottenham Hotspur are set to confirm their first two arrivals of the summer transfer window.
The club’s owners have invested £150million into the club as they prepare to back Antonio Conte in the transfer market this summer. It means Conte and sporting director Fabio Paratici could be particularly busy during the upcoming transfer window, and it appears they’ve already got to work with Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic set to arrive.
Conte previously worked with Perisic at Inter Milan – where he made on big demand of the Croatian. And Liverpool’s bid for Spurs forward Son Heung-min has been scuppered by Conte’s side qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Conte’s Perisic demand
Ivan Perisic has previously been told by Antonio Conte that he has to ‘believe in himself’ more.
The Croatian is expected to sign for Spurs this week after the north Londoners beat Premier League rivals, thought to include Chelsea, to his signature. According to reports, Perisic stayed the night at Tottenham’s training field ahead of his medical and will sign a two-year contract with the club when his Inter Milan contract expires.
Spurs boss Conte previously managed Perisic in Milan, where suggested the veteran could fulfill his “incredible potential” if he can boost his self-belief.
