Tottenham manager Antonio Conte insists it will take two more transfer windows for the club to be true title contenders.

"I tried to start with the old players because they give me more reality," said Conte.

"With the new players, we started to work with them in only one month and a half. And I think at the end my choices were good because we got four good results in the first four games

"Now when you have to go and play one game every three days, it's normal to make rotation, the players to be intelligent to understand that they have to sometimes go on the bench, come in, alternate.

"And this is the period that the club can understand if we are really, really complete in the squad or maybe we could do better.

"If you compare to last season, we are more complete. But to reach other teams at the top level, we need time, patience and transfer markets, at least two transfer markets to reach the same level."
