Antonio Conte has held his recruitment meeting with Spurs chiefs Daniel Levy and Fabio Paratici, and now it is over to the club to make player transfers this January.

The 52-year-old Italian will be hoping for reinforcements, with reports that the club are looking for a right wing-back, a left-footed central defender, a striker and a central midfielder in particular.
