The arrival of Antonio Conte completely changed the mentality of a Tottenham that had been in the doldrums in recent seasons. After reaching the final of the Champions League in 2019, the English team was not the protagonist of any tournament again, so it was believed that an absolute ‘clean slate’ was necessary. However, although the Italian coach made many changes in relation to what the team was with José Mourinho or Nuno Espírito Santo, he rescued many pieces and exploited others. One of the clearest cases is that of Son Heung-Min, who ended up being the top scorer in the Premier League along with Mohamed Salah with 23 goals.
The reality is that Antonio Conte is synonymous with results because if something has marked his career, it is that he won every team he led as champions. Clearly the closest precedent is that of Inter, who did not win Serie A for more than 10 years and with the arrival of the coach they were able to break that mark. So considering Tottenham have never won a Premier League, the challenge is absolute. And that is why the commitment from the club, the players and the technical director is so strong.

A year ago, everything indicated that both Son and Harry Kane were going to leave the institution to emigrate to a club that could be protagonists; but the arrival of Antonio Conte refreshed the energies of the stars. And it is thanks to that that the ‘Spurs’ managed to qualify for the Champions League again. However, that is not enough for them, since they intend to be protagonists of the international tournament and that is why they are making a large transfer market.
The great investment made by Tottenham
To add precision, Antonio Conte’s team has spent 98.7 million euros so far in the transfer market; and considering that there is more than a month to go until it closes, it is a more than considerable figure. In fact, Tottenham is the team that has spent the most money in the world, surpassing Liverpool’s 85 million and Real Madrid’s 80 million. The truth is that the coach expressly asked for the names that ended up arriving, because they will be key to exploiting his tactical scheme.

Undoubtedly, the surname that will appear in all the headlines in North London is that of Richarlison, who arrived from Everton in exchange for 69 million euros. Although Conte’s intention is to generate a trident with Son and Kane, it is very likely that he will end up playing thrown to a band due to his great dynamics; as he already did in his beginnings in Europe. Likewise, another of the great signings was that of Yves Bissouma, who has just had a devastating season at Brighton playing as a defensive midfielder. Although his transfer was quite expensive, it cost almost 30 million euros, it is a position that Tottenham had to strengthen.
One of the most interesting additions has been that of Ivan Perisic, as he was not only released from Inter, but was one of the best players in Serie A last season. In addition, Antonio Conte knows him well and knows that he can contribute a lot to the team. And the last signing they made is more discreet because it is about Fraser Forsterwho will play the role of substitute goalkeeper.
