Expert expects Tottenham transfer updates this week after what Antonio Conte told journalists
Antonio Conte has briefed the press that Tottenham want to get their transfer business done early this summer.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Tottenham are set for a busy summer as Conte looks to reshape the current squad in his image.
Wenham insists someone at the club, possibly Conte, has told journalists to put the word out that Spurs want to do their business before the start of pre-season.
“I am really excited about the summer now we have secured fourth,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I think over the coming days we will get some concrete updates on Conte’s future which is great.
“Then I think we will start recruiting early. The journalists who are close to Tottenham keep reporting we want five or six players in.
“Not only that but we want them in before we go on our pre-season tour of South Korea.
“That message has been put out very clearly by people at the club or Conte, Tottenham want to get their business done early this summer.
“There are more reports coming out every day and, as I say, I’m expecting movement and announcements in the coming days.”
Tottenham qualified for next season’s Champions League after beating Norwich 5-0 on Sunday (22 May).
They qualified at the expense of Arsenal, despite their 5-1 win over Everton.
