Spurs transfer news: Fresh claim emerges on Paratici after double-blow, Conte 'not happy'

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte is becoming increasingly frustrated due to Fabio Paratici being unable to welcome any reinforcements to the club since the window opened, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Conte was appointed as Spurs' head coach in November, just a matter of months after Paratici headed to north London to become their managing director, but he is still waiting to welcome the first signing of his reign.

Spurs have suffered a double whammy of major blows in the last 24 hours, with it appearing two of Conte's targets will not be heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Firstly, The Athletic's David Ornstein revealed Barcelona are putting together a package to seal Adama Traore's return to the Nou Camp, all but ending the north Londoners' pursuit.

The development came after it had initially been claimed Spurs were edging towards completing a £20million deal for the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger.

Conte has also been eyeing Porto wide-man Luis Diaz, only for an opening bid of £37.6million to be rejected earlier this week.

It now looks almost certain he will not be heading to Tottenham as Liverpool are understood to be in pole position to acquire the Colombian after making a late £45million swoop.

Meanwhile, Spurs are looking to sign Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina on an initial loan which has the option of being made permanent for £13.4million, according to MailOnline.

The report suggests the Morocco international, who is currently at the African Cup of Nations, is keen on completing the switch.

Jones understands Conte is becoming increasingly unhappy with the lack of transfer activity at Spurs.
