Tottenham defender Eric Dier has called on the club to capitalise on their return to the Champions League. Spurs booked their place back in the top tier of ...

You have to face in England three national competitions and one in the Champions League.” If the bench is strong like a top team, like City, Chelsea, United and Liverpool, you need to improve a lot your squad in quality aspect and numerical aspect. The players and the manager are. We need to improve a lot. “It’s in the club’s hands now. The club has a lot of room for improvement in many different areas.

Tottenham Hotspur players reacted positively to Antonio Conte when the Italian told them that he could leave Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The report has added that the Tottenham players reacted positively to that message from the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager. Conte has changed all that, and the former Juventus boss has been able to guide Tottenham back into the Champions League. Tottenham Hotspur players reacted positively to Antonio Conte when the Italian told them that he could leave Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, according to The Athletic.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy should thank Antonio Conte every single day of this summer, however high the Italian's demands are or however expensive ...

With or without Conte, however, Levy must recognise that the onus is now on him to grasp the opportunity he has been so fortunate to receive. Even with Todd Boehly’s billions, it will be years before the Blues can rebuild Stamford Bridge and cash in on the Champions League to the extent Spurs are now able to. The fact clubs will be allowed to make five substitutes next season must also be factored in. There was honesty from both sides, when Levy appointed Conte in November last year. Does Levy really want to make Tottenham a football club that can compete with the best again? That is not to say this will be a straightforward summer, with Tottenham still facing challenges to try to shape the squad in such a way that Conte will believe it is worth sticking around and aiming for the next goal - a real trophy, rather than the metaphorical one he felt Champions League qualification represented.

Two Son Heung-min goals v Norwich City on Sunday helped Tottenham to Champions League qualification and, less importantly, saw him win an individual award.

Dele Alli, who left the North Londoners to join Everton in January, said on Instagram that he was ‘proud’ of his former teammate following the achievement, while Son himself admitted that he had fulfilled a childhood dream by scooping the Golden Boot. Nobody was happier for the Tottenham attacker than on-loan Lilywhites goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, who was photographed manhandling his teammate in the changing room after the game. The South Korea scored a second-half brace to take his tally to 23 Premier League goals for the season.

Spurs could scarcely afford to put a foot wrong in their final three matches but beat Arsenal, Burnley and Norwich by an aggregate score of 9-0 to complete a ...

They deserve this place and deserve to enjoy this moment but we need to keep going next season." Team work and the commitment every day of the players. "They were looking for the last two years for this Champions League, and we're very happy to see them celebrating. The credit belongs to the players for never giving up but also to Antonio Conte and his coaching staff. We're so happy to be back in the Champions League, it's where we want to be as players and a club. When the manager arrived it wasn't really on our radar, so to get it at the end is fantastic."

Son Heung-min has lauded Lucas Moura and said that his Tottenham Hotspur teammate changed the game at Norwich on Sunday.

Tottenham’s squad is set to be stretched again next year with Champions League football back on the agenda. “I’m really grateful for Lucas that if I didn’t score this goal I could have scored the second goal. And reports have suggested that he could yet be sold this summer.

TOTTENHAM players are desperate for the club to do what they can to keep Antonio Conte long term.

Obviously, we’ve stabilised in the last five or six months, we’ve been improving consistently and the results have come. Conte has already proven his worth in the transfer market. They want Conte to stay and carry on building what he has started.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to hand Antonio Conte a transfer war chest in the summer to reshape the squad and make concessions on club policy, ...

The Italian is keen to strengthen and the club are prepared to back him by handing him a war chest to use in the transfer window. Conte’s transformation of Tottenham led to the club securing fourth place and a spot in next season’s Champions League, with thoughts now turning towards the summer window.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is on Luis Campos list for PSG, a three-man shortlist with Campos set to replace Leonardo as sporting director.

But Spurs will be more of a challenge to him. Surely, he will be backed in the upcoming window, not just because it is Conte, but because of fourth. He leaves after keeping Kylian Mbappe, getting him to sign a deal until 2025.

Antonio Conte has said he will discuss his Tottenham future with the board in the ...

Now I think for me, the club and the players it’s good to have three, four or five days of rest and then the mind will be very clear. Now there’s a lot of emotions in mind, my heart, for me, for the club and for everybody. “On the other hand, I have ambition, I like to fight for something important, to lift trophies.

I have a contract with City and I have already expressed my desire to the City people and to my agent. Then, think about the team, smile at the team again. 'So, I have to take advantage of this moment.

The Athletic have reported that some at the Tottenham Hotspur hierarchy were not happy with Antonio Conte's public comments about Tanguy Ndombele.

The Athletic have reported that in the weeks leading up to Ndombele’s loan move to Lyon, comments from Conte on the midfielder did not impress some at the Tottenham hierarchy. The French club have an option to make the loan deal of the Tottenham midfielder permanent in the summer transfer window. Ndombele returned to his former club Lyon on loan from Tottenham in the January transfer window.

Tottenham's Top-Four Finish at Arsenal's Expense Could Result in Gap Between Rivals ... Spurs finished just two points above its North London rival for a coveted ...

Take a step back and there is a sense of a club on the rise. This is a young squad and there have been clear signs of progress. And that perhaps has been the most encouraging aspect of the run-in, that Spurs have begun to look like a Conte side, overwhelming opponents. Conte, though, could be at Paris Saint-Germain by the start of next season, with the blood-letting in Paris likely to begin this week after it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappé will stay at the club. For Arsenal, meanwhile, there is the sense of a great opportunity wasted. Tottenham and Arsenal both finished the season with a flourish, scoring five goals apiece in wins over Norwich City and Everton, but what really mattered were the two games before that.

The away dressing room at Carrow Road was bouncing as Tottenham celebrated a return to the Champions League by blaring out music and posing for selfies, ...

They are both sensational players in their prime, offering another reason for the club not to squander their talent and act now. Levy has previously been reluctant to hand total control to his coaches but Conte is notoriously uncompromising and will settle for nothing less than the club's full and unequivocal support. Now, by contrast, there are no excuses for the club not to back Conte. Everything is in place. The time is now. When Conte meets with Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici this week, he is set to demand assurances that the club will invest significantly in quality and quantity over the summer, and that he will lead the overhaul of the squad. Mauricio Pochettino's tenure and particularly the summer of 2018, when Spurs became the first Premier League club since the introduction of transfer windows not to make a signing, is the clearest example of their squandering a position of strength.

Tottenham finished the job on the final of the Premier League season by qualifying for the Champions League ahead of rivals Arsenal.

- Tottenham - Juventus It marks incredible work by Antonio Conte, who joined in mid-season with Champions League qualification nothing more than a pipe dream.

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has hailed Heung-Min Son after the Tottenham forward shared the golden boot with Mohamed Salah - and heaped praise on manager ...

The rest have a long way to go." That was where the real pressure was on the final day. I'm very clear that he isn't the right manager for Manchester United but you can say someone's not the right manager for your club but he's still a great manager. Neville said on his podcast: "To do what Son's done at Tottenham, he does get respected, and he'd be taken by any top club in the world, but I thought he deserves something. "I named Son as my Player of the Season. It could have easily gone to Kevin De Bruyne because every time we watch him we're blessed. He gets overshadowed by everybody, even Harry Kane, but well done to him."

When Nuno Espirito Santo was fired in November, months after he was hired to lead Spurs, this team could've gone plenty of different ways. But, perhaps, only ...

Entering a critical summer, everything possible must be done to ensure that Spurs' golden manager stays in charge as he has already shown a taste of what he can do without the team even having a preseason under him. Decisions need to be made on the outside back positions and Ben Davies can't be expected to perform at this level as in the left center-back position for an entire season next year but selling Champions League soccer is always easier than selling the hope of it. Fabio Paratici is very aware of Conte's ways and can help ensure that if a target can't be afforded on Spurs' budget that someone comparable can be added. Conte's machine became a team that could beat you in many different ways and their return to Champions League is a signal that better days are on the horizon. There was doubt that this would be a relationship that worked as Levy prefers shopping in the bargain bin while Conte wants top shelf additions -- and some of those questions are still there entering the summer window -- but with that Champions League platform now there (and the extra money that goes along with it), the hope is that Spurs now can offer what Conte's transfer targets are looking for. After a summer window that saw them flit from name to name in their search to replace Jose Mourinho, almost appointing Gennaro Gattuso as manager before finally settling on Nuno, had Spurs got it wrong yet again when Nuno was fired it would have been disastrous.

Expect it to be a busy one, made even busier by the fact that Tottenham Hotspur's table position and Champions League qualification means that they'll likely be ...

City are probably going to ask for a lot of money — the latest rumors said City quoted Arsenal a fee of £55m — and even with investment that’s a lot of cheddar for a position that arguably isn’t among the biggest needs at Spurs right now. For the past few weeks, it’s been surmised that Gabriel Jesus was likely to leave Manchester City for opportunities at a different Premier League club. With the season done and dusted, it means that silly season is now officially underway.

Tottenham star Son Heung-min has praised Lucas Moura after his assist in the 5-0 win over Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.

I’m really grateful for Lucas.” Moura played Son in for his first goal, producing a lovely first-time flick around the corner to get Son in on goal. Tottenham star Son Heung-min has praised Lucas Moura after his assist in the 5-0 win over Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.

The Italian has repeatedly stated that Tottenham need to substantially invest if they are to be able to compete domestically with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, and with Europe’s elite clubs. With the campaign over, Conte is enjoying a holiday in Italy and will speak to Levy and Paratici in the coming days. Chairman Daniel Levy is expected to offer Conte a clutch of new signings, including established, experienced players.

ANTONIO CONTE is set to get his way in his first summer transfer window in charge of Tottenham.

This end of the season we showed a lot of maturity and calmness, especially in some big moments. Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic, who worked under Conte for a couple of years, has been linked to Spurs in recent days. Now we need to use this feeling, this moment to become bigger and stronger.” Captain Hugo Lloris is delighted with how the season has panned out. Spurs have focused on signing young, emerging players in recent windows but Conte would prefer to add an older core to his squad who have had previous success in their careers. Spurs' reluctance to spend has often been criticised.

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is reportedly set to be promised the six summer signings he desires, but could still quit the club as he considers whether to ...

"In a short time, I worked a lot with my players to bring this club to play in the Champions League. I want to celebrate and we’ll have time to speak with the club about everything." Regarding the latter, Southampton's Fraser Forster is set to complete a medical as part of a free transfer. With that comes qualification for next season's Champions League, and the ability to attract top-class players in the transfer market. Although the promise of new faces will help Tottenham's case, Conte is also set to want assurances over the quality of the signings and the influence he has over who is brought in. Spurs have been left in the lurch regarding the Italian's future, and they are understandably keen to see him stick around after he sensationally fired them to fourth spot.

If the stories and reports coming out in the English football media one day after the end of the Premier League season are any indication, Tottenham Hotspur ...

The next step is to show intent by making a few signings early in the window — the new Premier League season begins on Sat. August 6 due to the winter World Cup in Qatar, while the transfer window doesn’t close until Monday, September 1. Multiple media outlets, including the Telegraph, Football.London, and The Athletic (£) are reporting today that, having secured a spot in next year’s Champions League competition, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to back manager Antonio Conte with six new signings in order to convince him to stay at Spurs for an additional season. This includes, according to both sources, six new players that are a mix of young, up-and-coming talents with resale value (Spurs’ bread and butter) along with older, veteran, peak-level players in order to push to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Kylian Mbappe has told Tottenham transfer target, Angel Di Maria, that it was a 'huge honour' to play alongside him at PSG.

The is now simply a case of Daniel Levy backing the man that has more than done his job this season. Either way, after Mbappe signed a new PSG contract, he issued this message, on his IG story, to Di Maria, as he is set to leave the club. They will feel they can now lure some of the top talents to the club, and whilst Di Maria is at the back end of his career, he does fit the profile of player, in terms of experience, that Antonio Conte normally pushes for.

As previously stated, Tottenham Hotspur are said to want to make at least six signings this summer in order to appease head coach Antonio Conte.

It also means that his Southampton contract technically expires at the end of June, or Spurs might have had this locked down a while ago. What this likely means is that we can probably expect that Forster’s signing will be announced next week sometime, and possibly on June 1 when the transfer window officially opens. Forster isn’t my first choice for the position, but he does capably fill both roles.

He has had an outstanding season.” “I am surprised he is not playing at Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United. The guy is just a machine. Owen Hargreaves has claimed that he is amazed that Heung-Min Son is still at Tottenham and not playing for the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United.

Tottenham selling Tanguy Ndombele this summer is “on the cards”, according to journalist Pete O'Rourke.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “With him coming back and training on his own, it’s far from ideal. Therefore, once the summer window reopens for business, Spurs will surely be doing all they can to get the midfielder out of the club in some capacity, whether that be a on a permanent basis, or a temporary deal if no one is willing to match Tottenham’s asking-price. So, I think for everybody involved, they would like to get his future sorted and then a move away from Tottenham is on the cards for Ndombele on a permanent basis.”

Tottenham forward Heung Min Son not being linked away from the club more often is “surprising”, according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge.

So, to answer the question, I am surprised he doesn’t [get linked away more].” He told GIVEMESPORT: “Do you know what, I heard the same thing this week and it got me thinking. I was looking at it and thought ‘yeah’, it’s a really interesting one.

I’d also guess that if this was a loan that Spurs probably paid a pretty hefty loan fee to Atalanta in order to get this over the line and what’s due now is the £40m minus whatever fee we paid. It is indeed a loan with option to buy Cristian Romero for £42.5m and five-year contract agreed with player for after initial loan. When we wrote on the signing last summer, it was reported as a €50m (£42.5m) full signing, but apparently that wasn’t quite accurate — it appears as though it was instead one of Fabio Paratici’s classic loan-to-buy deals.

Perisic is out of contract at Inter Milan in five weeks and could reunite with Conte if Spurs make a swoop for him. Another player who is out of contract in the summer, there appears no frontrunner - at present - for his signature. Bale may feel that under Conte he could finally end his silverware drought at and the Italian would surely love a player of the Welshman's quality and winning experience. And his creativity would be welcomed by the ruthless Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. He had a chance to win his first trophy with Spurs whilst on loan at the club last season. Tottenham's qualification for the Champions League has given them a huge boost heading into this summer's transfer window, with Europe's best players more inclined to make the switch to Spurs as a result.

Qualifying for the Champions League was crucial to Spurs' aims but further improvements are required if the club is to end its long wait for silverware in ...

Conte, Kane and Son are all world-class and the pillars of Spurs’ project. It is also of paramount importance that new signings this summer adapt as quickly as Romero, Bentancur and Kulusevski have to ensure that Spurs are in a position to compete for honours right away. Nobody is quite sure what lies in store for Chelsea, but a takeover could galvanise the club after a slump in 2022. Fast forward to 22 May, 2022 when a beaming Son was being hoisted onto the shoulders of his team-mates after drawing level for goals with Mo Salah, Kane was fist-pumping the Spurs support and Antonio Conte was serenaded by fans drunk on jubilation. Closing the gap on both will be immensely difficult, particularly as Arsenal, Manchester United and maybe even Newcastle, will invest heavily in their squads. Not for the first time, Spurs are approaching a pivotal transfer window.

Here is your Spurs digest on Tuesday, May 23. Spurs eye Palhinha. Tottenham are reportedly considering a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha.

Certainly helped by the January additions of Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski as the pair helped take the team to the next level, it is imperative that the head coach is backed this summer if Tottenham are to keep on progressing. Hugo Lloris believes Antonio Conte already knows exactly what he wants and needs at Tottenham next season and there is "huge confidence" in the camp. While he has a release clause in his contract set at €60million (£50.9million), Sporting are said to be ready to accept a bid around the €25million (£21.2million) mark.

His name is curiously absent from many of the awards shortlists, but Son has outscored Harry Kane for the first time and defied the xG model.

(It is also worth remembering, in the context of his goalscoring, that it is much harder to score the number of goals he does if you do not take penalties. It is a strange fact of his career that since he decided to stay at Tottenham in 2016, there has been no transfer saga around him, no long summer of speculation. This is not entirely driven by the media either; Kane spent last summer trying to engineer a move to Manchester City. And yet with Son this speculation does not seem to happen in the same way. The sum total of all of this is one of the best strikers in modern football. But put these overall trends together — Son’s increasing confidence, his use as a No 9, Kane dropping deeper — and it is now Son rather than Kane who is the dominant goalscorer in this Spurs team. But even this change — Son getting into better positions, more central, more in the box — does not tell the whole story. Now, Son effectively plays as the No 9 and Kane plays as a No 10 behind him. These are the very best forwards of the last few years and yet Son seems to get less credit than the rest of that group. When Son arrived at Spurs, the emphasis was on what he could do for the rest of his team, especially off the ball, rather than how many goals he would score. Because, by any available measure, Son is one of the best forwards in the Premier League, and has been for years. It was only at the end of the window, when Son had “one foot out of the door”, as one well-placed source put it, that Mauricio Pochettino persuaded Son to stay. He pointed out, very accurately, that Son could improve any team in Europe. And wondered why exactly, even now, Son does not get the recognition that he obviously deserves.

Tottenham Hotspur needs to complete a lot of transfer business this summer to appease Antonio Conte, that business starts with finishing the prior market.

Deki was nothing short of a godsend for Spurs in the second half of the season. Although he has an entire season left on his contract, Tottenham Hotspur has reached the point where things could go sideways with Conte. If Spurs’ hierarchy fails to back Conte in the transfer market, there is always the potential that the Italian could walk. Last summer, as cash was tight coming off a season without fans, Tottenham used the loan market to get an infusion of new talent into the club.

Tottenham, Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici have an unsurprising strategy heading into the upcoming summer transfer window.

But given all of these reports, it looks likely that they will do most of their shopping in England and Italy as Conte tries to build a more competitive squad. De Vrij’s team-mate Lautaro Martinez is also said to be in Spurs’ sights. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the transfer insider said: “Generally, I still expect them to look at the Italian market.
