Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says they cannot afford mistakes in this winter's market.

The Italian wants Wolves wideman Adama Traore, as well as defensive recruits.

And the club are ready to off-load record-signing Tanguy Ndombele.

When he was asked how important it was that the club gets its recruitment right to match his own ambition and his reputation as a 'winner', Conte replied: “Yeah, for sure.

“I don't lose my ambition. I like to fight and to be competitive.

“I know there is only one team that can lift trophies at the end of the season.

“But I don't want to lose my characteristic.

“I don't want to lose my will, my desire. Otherwise I will go against myself.

“I want to keep this characteristic as a winner."
