Reliable journalist: Conte ‘might be looking’ to strengthen one key area at Spurs this summer

According to reliable journalist Pete O’Rourke, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte ‘might be looking’ at signing another central midfielder during the upcoming transfer window.

The Italian has already started to put his stamp on the first team at Spurs following the January arrivals of both Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus, but with a place in the top four currently hanging in the balance, there’s no doubt that the 52-year-old will be keen to bolster his ranks even further in the summer.

Whilst Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg continues to be linked with a move away from N17, not to mention the long-term injury to Oliver Skipp, it wouldn’t come as any surprise to see Conte targeting new options in the middle of the park.

With those situations in mind, O’Rourke expects Tottenham to make central midfield a priority position when it comes to summer transfer activity.

He told GiveMeSport: “I think midfield is going to be a key position for Tottenham this summer if they’re looking to improve the team. Antonio Conte might be looking for somebody to go in there beside Bentancur and establish a relationship in that midfield.”

If recent transfer rumours are anything to go by, new midfield signings definitely appear to be on the agenda for the Tottenham hierarchy, backing up O’Rourke’s prediction.

The Lilywhites have been heavily linked with midfielders of various descriptions of late, including Leeds destroyer Kalvin Phillips and Leicester City’s creative maestro Youri Tielemans, after it was recently revealed that the Belgian looks set to depart the King Power Stadium at the end of the season.

Another name which could be added to that list is West Ham’s Tomas
