If Conte is to be believed, Spurs need a complete overhaul in the summer under whoever succeeds him — but was he right? Daniel Levy’s 12th permanent manager will inherit a group which has been tailored to Conte’s specific system over three transfer windows and remains lopsided and a little stale, and will need to continue the club’s rebuild which began way back in 2019.
But there is also still plenty of talent at Spurs — and the root of many of their problems this season was Conte himself, rather than the players. Standard Sport assesses the state of Spurs’s squad ahead of a crucial summer under another new coach...
ATTACK
Harry Kane’s future remains unresolved and will have a huge bearing on Tottenham’s summer business.
Assuming Kane (left) stays put, Spurs are well-stocked up front but need one or two more forwards, with Lucas Moura set to leave on a free transfer and Arnaut Danjuma unlikely to sign permanently as it stands, having barely played since joining on loan from Villarreal in January. Dejan Kulusevski has said his future is not linked to Conte’s and will make his loan permanent in the summer, while a key job of the new manager will be returning Heung-min Son and Richarlison to form.
Bryan Gil, currently on loan back at Sevilla, may interest a new manager but is happier in Spain and better suited physically to playing in La Liga.
Keep: Kane, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Son.
