"I still think" - Journalist tips Conte transfer move at Tottenham amid fierce on-pitch battle

Tottenham could look to bring in a left wing-back in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Antonio Conte currently has Ryan Sessegnon and Sergio Reguilon to call upon to cover this position, but he may be looking for an upgrade in the coming months.

The first part of Sessegnon’s campaign was severely disrupted by injuries but he has started to come into his own lately.

The 21-year-old registered his first assist of the season against Leeds last month when he set up Matt Doherty, and he got Spurs off to a flying start on Monday when his dangerous cross at home to Everton was diverted into his own net by Michael Keane.

Unfortunately, he had to be substituted at half time in that game due to a muscular problem, and he has now been ruled out until after this month’s international break.

Meanwhile, due to Sessegnon’s upturn in form, Reguilon has had to settle for a place on the bench more regularly over the past few weeks.

However, he replaced the English full-back at the break against the Toffees, and scored within a minute of coming on to remind Conte of his qualities.

O’Rourke told GIVEMESPORT: “I still think a left wing-back could be a target as well for Conte, especially if Real Madrid decide to activate their buy-back clause on Sergio Reguilon. It would leave them quite short.”

Arguably it would be, given that Spurs have various other
