Dropping news on Tottenham Hotspur’s January plans as they attempt to finalise a move for Wolves star Adama Traore, reliable reporter Alasdair Gold has shared what he knows.
The Lowdown: Conte eyeing new additions…
Lilywhites boss Antonio Conte is said to be eyeing multiple new additions in north London with Gold previously lifting the lid on his four main priorities.

As explained, the Italian wants a right-wing-back, left-sided centre-half, a new midfielder and striker (football.london) – with AC Milan’s Franck Kessie and Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic among those rumoured to be on the radar.
In an update, Gold has explained what Conte is now planning to do ‘on top of trying to wrap up the Traore deal’.
The Latest: Gold shares update…
According to his information, transfer chief Fabio Paratici could well be set for a ‘busy end’ to the winter window as Conte makes an updated personal transfer demand.
The 52-year-old has apparently ‘asked’ to bring in a central midfielder and another striker while Paratici is also tasked to move players on.
It is believed that Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, Matt Doherty, Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon may well be up for grabs before January 31.
The Verdict: Interesting times ahead…
Arguably one of the best coaches in world football going by his glittering CV, it will certainly be interesting to see if Tottenham and Paratici can grant Conte’s wishes and provide significant backing.
Spurs are somehow back in contention to finish in a top four place following the regrettable but brief Nuno Espirito Santo era and their capture of Conte could be seen as their biggest coup of 2021/2022 – no matter which players come through the door.
Other reports have also claimed that chairman Daniel Levy could back the former Inter Milan boss with multiple new signings before the end of this month (The Sun), and Spurs fans will certainly be hoping that is the case.
