Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has some demands for the club's academy if he is to renew his contract.
The Italian's deal expires at the end of this term, although Spurs can extend it for another 12 months.
Per football.london, discussions about a new deal with Conte are also focusing on the club's academy.
Conte expects the club's academy staff to develop their players in a way that allows them to slot into his team in a specific position.
The Italian does not want to spend time developing youth players, as he wants them to be ready for first team action if they make the step up.
The issue is that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy wants his coach to integrate and develop young players, which means the two men do not share the same ethos in this area.
