Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has urged Tottenham to back manager Antonio Conte this summer in the transfer market. It comes ahead of a potentially huge period for Spurs, with the Italian hoping to craft the squad in his image.

Speaking on BT Sport, the pundit said: “I think he has done enough to deserve that [transfer backing]. He is third in terms of points gained and goals scored since he got here, which tells you the levels he is at.

“They put in a performance at Liverpool, they're coming and it showed at Anfield. He wants to see that play out. You have to bet on him. You can't question this guy in terms of what he can bring, the intensity.
