Spurs Transfer Rumours

Antonio Conte was without most of his Tottenham squad during the international break, but they will start to return as preparations begin for a return to Premier League action. The Italian was left with just eight players during the break, although Ben Davies was released early from the Wales squad as a precaution earlier in the week.

Spurs' first game back is a home tie against Newcastle on Sunday, as they enter the final nine games of the season. Tottenham are fifth in the league and will be hoping to overtake Arsenal in the top four battle, currently sitting three points behind their north London rivals and with arguably a more favourable run-in than Mikel Arteta's side.

All Conte will have hoped for from the international break he described as a "pity", is that his team could enjoy playing for their country, but not pick up any injuries. Conte is still dealing with the absences of Ryan Sessegnon and Oliver Skipp, so doesn't need any of his other first team players to pick up knocks.
