Conte can axe £80k-p/w "nightmare" as Spurs plot bid for £50m gem who “rarely misses" - opinion

Tottenham Hotspur have not been shy when it comes to getting their business done so early in the current transfer window.

The Lilywhites have already secured deals for Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma in recent weeks.

In addition to showing how eager the club are to get their business completed, it also demonstrates that they are not shy when it comes to signing players from other clubs in the Premier League, with the latter two joining from Southampton and Brighton respectively.
