Antonio Conte Calls for Urgent Transfer Market Action as Spurs StruggleAntonio Conte Calls for Urgent Transfer Market Action as Spurs Struggle Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has issued an urgent plea for the club to strengthen its squad in the January transfer window after a string of disappointing results. Following Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Wednesday, Conte expressed his frustration at the team’s lack of depth and quality. “We need to improve the squad, there is no other way,” Conte told reporters. “We need to sign players that can help us reach the next level.” Spurs have struggled to maintain consistency this season, winning just four of their last eight Premier League games. They have also been eliminated from both domestic cup competitions. Conte believes that the team’s lack of transfer activity in the summer has been a major factor in their struggles. “We didn’t sign a single player in the summer, and that was a mistake,” Conte said. “We need to be more ambitious in the transfer market.” The Italian is reportedly keen on adding a centre-back, a wing-back, and a midfielder to his squad. He has been linked with moves for players such as Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, and Fiorentina winger Nico Gonzalez. Tottenham have a busy schedule ahead of them, with games against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the coming weeks. Conte knows that his team must improve quickly if they want to challenge for a top-four finish. “We have to find the right players, and we have to do it quickly,” Conte said. “There is no time to waste.” The January transfer window opens on January 1 and closes on January 31. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can secure the reinforcements that Conte believes they need to turn their season around.
