Tottenham Hotspur chairman, Daniel Levy, is eager to provide Antonio Conte with the tools to please the Italian manager this summer.
This is according to the reliable Spurs correspondent, Jack Pitt-Brooke, who has been speaking on the latest edition of The View From The Lane podcast.
Are you confident in Levy backing Conte this summer?
Yes
No
A massive weekend is approaching Spurs with their hopes of a spot in the Champions League in touching distance with just one point needed against Norwich City to secure their spot in the top four.
And it is believed Conte is wanting the Spurs board to put their trust in him this summer in providing him with the funds to put his stamp on the squad.
Landing a spot in the Champions League would be a big boost towards freeing up some funds and Pitt-Brooke does believe Levy has the intention of trying to keep the 52-year-old happy:
(16:00) “So they are prepared to kind of throw their weight around a bit in the European transfer market. And I think in the way that Premier League clubs can do now.
“And on top of that, there’s the added dynamic, which is that Levy, I think, is especially keen, desperately keen to keep Conte happy, to give Conte what he wants to kind of mollify Conte as far as possible.
“I don’t think it is actually possible to keep Conte 100% happy because of just how Conte is wired. But I think Levy is determined to do as much as he possibly can.”
TIF Thoughts on Pitt-Brooke’s comments…
This will be music to the ears of Spurs fans, however, we all know actions speak louder than words and we feel it is absolutely essential Spurs get over the line this weekend.
Champions League football will obviously provide Spurs with some extra funds to spend in the summer which would obviously please Conte.
However, if Spurs were to miss out on Champions League football, it would put a real downer on the season at Spurs due to the nature of how they’d miss out which would be far from ideal going into the summer.
