Daniel Levy is determined to seize the opportunity presented by getting back into the Champions League, with Antonio Conte’s side pipping Arsenal at the last.
The fact that the transfer narrative at Tottenham has changed from focusing on players who could come in and strengthen the team, rather than fighting to hold on to Harry Kane, is proof of how things have transformed since last summer.
Antonio Conte’s track record is excellent and his work at Spurs is enough proof of why he is considered as one of he best coaches in the world.
Some former Spurs players would be looking at Conte’s team and thinking about what they could have achieved under his tutelage in north London.
So here are some ex-players we think would have thrived under Antonio Conte when they played at for Tottenham.
1. Luka Modric
The midfielder has gone on to become one of the best in the world but there is no doubting that he would have thrived under Antonio Conte. World class.
2. Toby Alderweireld
The Belgian was a warrior for Spurs and his day was the best defender in the world. What Antonio could do with his bravery and leadership !
3. Gareth Bale
The Welsh man is in the conversation for the best British sports man of all time. When he first burst on the scene his pace was electric and that game against Inter tells us what he would have done under Antonio.
4. Kyle Walker
Walker has gone on to make a great career for himself at Manchester City. But at Spurs, he was still the best full back in the world and he could have been a beast under Antonio Conte
