Tottenham Manager Antonio Conte has insisted on more signings for the club as he hopes to lead Spurs to fight for a quadruple of trophies in the 2022-23 season.
The North London club have been in the thick of a busy summer transfer window with five key signings to strengthen the squad ahead of their return to Champions League.
While the Italian is delighted with the new additions to the squad, he believes they must bring in more fresh faces to give them enough to compete for multiple trophies in the coming season.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan told reporters: “When the ideas are very clear it’s more simple to go into the transfer window and sign the players.
“Our plan was very clear about the positions in which we needed to improve. We did it, the club worked very well in this window.
“For every coach to have players quickly is very important because [we] can work with them and put them in the know. It was good to sign five players quickly. And now we will see. We’re always looking to strengthen the squad if there is the opportunity.
“We want to improve it numerically because to play in four competitions is difficult. You need a very good squad, numerical and quality. It will be a tough, demanding season for us but we want to enjoy this season to play four competitions and try to be competitive. We’ll see what happens. In the next two months if there’s a possibility to strengthen the squad we’ll do it.”
Spurs splashed out an initial £50 million ($61m) to sign Richarlison from Everton and a further £25m ($30m) on Brighton’s Yves Bissouma, while Clement Lenglet joined on loan from Barcelona and Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster were signed in free transfers.
