Conte quit fears if he’s not allowed to spend

TOTTENHAM players are concerned Antonio Conte will walk out at the end of this month’s transfer window if he is not backed with signings.

The meek surrender against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and Sunday’s showing against League One side Morecambe highlighted Spurs’ lack of squad depth.

Tottenham’s manager, who signed an 18-month deal in November, will be reluctant to quit but the fact that it is being discussed in the dressing room points to problems.

Tottenham have spent more than £300million since the 2019 Champions League final, but without significantly improving their first team, and Conte has identified the areas to address.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy must now act fast to placate the volatile Italian.
