Tottenham’s fortunes have improved since Conte took charge. They currently sit fourth in the Premier League table with six games to go.

Spurs brought in Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentanctur in January. Both have hit the ground running under Conte.

The Telegraph are reporting that Conte will inform the club’s hierarchy that he needs six new players this summer.

It is stated that they face a ‘homegrown player balancing act’. They could have a ‘depleted squad Europe next season if Levy and Paratici set their sights on the overseas transfer market’.

The report adds that Spurs are ‘considering a move’ for Christian Eriksen. His contract at Brentford is due to expire in June. Leicester City star Youri Tielemans is noted as a target.

Torino duo Gleison Bremer and Wilfried Singo, along with West Brom’s Sam Johnstone, are also mentioned as players Tottenham are looking at.

Elsewhere, Dion Dublin believes Tottenham centre-half Eric Dier “doesn’t have a defensive brain”.

Dier is a mainstay in the Tottenham defence having started 29 times in the Premier League this campaign.

He has made over 300 appearances for the north Londoners since joining from Sporting Lisbon for £4.5m in 2014.
