Report: Conte unhappy with 'perfect' Tottenham player behind-the-scenes, he's now set to leave

According to reports out of Spain, Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has now made another player exit decision amid all the noise surrounding Tanguy Ndombele.

The Italian, currently overseeing Spurs’ meteoric return to form and their chase for 2021/2022 Champions League qualification, is also already assessing the Lilywhites players he wants out the door this summer.

As things stand, Conte is set for his first full season in charge over 22/23 and the next window could prove pivotal as Chelsea’s ex-boss looks to reshapes the Spurs team.

The 52-year-old, according to reliable reports, has already made a decision on club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele with journalist Dan Kilpatrick claiming Conte sees ‘no future’ for the Lyon loanee.

Following a latest Spurs development, it appears the Lilywhites head coach has now made another exit decision – this time surrounding defender Emerson Royal.

The Brazilian, signed just last summer by transfer chief Fabio Paratici, has actually featured regularly over the last fortnight – starting Spurs’ last two Premier League games and even getting on the scoresheet in a 5-1 win over Newcastle United.

Despite this, Conte has now made his decision, with Spanish sources claiming Spurs and their manager are ‘not happy’ with Royal’s performances.

The report adds that Tottenham’s right-back ‘is going to be one of the players who leaves’ this summer with Paratici’s 2021 acquisition set for an exit.

Spurs are set to demand €25 million (£21m) – the same amount they paid to Barcelona for Royal’s services – with suitors Atletico Madrid, as per this update, actually willing to pay it.

The South American, still only 23-year-old, has drawn comparisons to some of Brazil’s greatest ever defenders –
