Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: I could never sign Casemiro here

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits they're restricted by the club's transfer policy.

Conte has complained a deal for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro would never be considered at Spurs.

He explained: "I understand the frustration of the fans because the fans want to lift trophies. I understand everything and everyone. But at the same time, in my opinion and from what I have understood here, you have to be patient and you have to have time and try to improve.

"There are no mistakes to make in the transfer market and also be patient with the players you are going to sign, wait for them to develop.

“You can sign players with experience at age 30 and with great victories behind them, Casemiro for example. But this is not the vision of the club and that is why you have to continue working, be patient.

"I understand everyone, but at the same time this frustration cannot become a problem, but a push for me and the players, so that the club continues to improve, develop and reduce the distance with other clubs."
