​Conte hints summer transfer business not over for Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte admits their summer window is not over.

The North London side have already secured big money signings for the Italian manager after qualifying for the Champions League.

Spurs put up an initial £50 million to sign Richarlison from Everton and a £25 million on Brighton's Yves Bissouma.

They also secured Clement Lenglet on loan from Barcelona and Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster as free transfers.

The Italian coach 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."
