Antonio Conte's previous admission may have already outlined his next transfer move at Tottenham

The opening of the transfer window is quickly approaching and Tottenham have already secured their first signing of the summer. Ivan Perisic has made the move to N17 on a two-year deal which has cost Spurs nothing, as the Croatian's contract with Inter Milan has come to an end.

Antonio Conte wants at least six new arrivals this summer and upgrades are needed all over the pitch in a team the Italian has already done great work with to improve. The 52-year-old helped lead his side to a top four finish, handing Tottenham Champions League football for next season, as an extra attraction for prospective signings.

There have been plenty of players linked with moves to north London already, from clubs across the world. This includes the likes of Djed Spence, Christian Eriksen and now Allan Saint-Maximin, with still a long way to go for business to be done.

Alessandro Bastoni and the transfer overhaul of Conte's Spurs defence Fabio Paratici has planned

reported at the end of last month that defence is the first priority of the summer for Conte. Fabio Paratici has already begun fulfilling this with Perisic's arrival.

There is ongoing talk about Alessandro Bastoni's future as Inter need funds to buy players, which could be raised by letting the defender go. However the 23-year-old is happy at the Italian club, so that situation seems to be a waiting game.
