Tottenham: Conte 'looking at' key area after Bissouma deal at Hotspur Way

Tottenham Hotspur may be in the market for ‘two defenders’ this summer in order to strengthen their backline, according to Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.

Spurs are expected to be one of the most active teams in the market over the coming months and have already snapped up Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma.

Full-back Ben Davies was forced to fill in on the left-hand side of three centre-back in the second half of 2021/22 due to all of Tottenham’s central defenders being right-footed.

And although the Wales international performed admirably in an unfavoured role, signing a more natural option is now at the top of Conte’s wish list.

However, Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has revealed that the right-footed Gleison Bremer of Torino is also on the Tottenham hierarchy’s wish list, meaning two centre-backs could be targeted.

Taylor believes the fact that Bremer does not favour the left side means Spurs may want to ‘sign two defenders’ this summer, while Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon have been linked with moves away.

“Obviously, one will be the priority, but ideally, they’d like another defender as well just to bolster their options.”
