Paratici refuses to make transfer guarantees for new Tottenham manager Conte

Tottenham director Fabio Paratici says he hasn't spoken with Antonio Conte about January transfers.

The pair have reunited at Spurs after three successful seasons together at Juventus.

Conte is now manager of Tottenham after Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked earlier this week.

But Paratici has given no guarantees that his compatriot will be given funds to spend when the transfer window reopens.

Asked about whether he has spoken with Conte regarding January transfers and the intention to bring players in come January, Paratici replied: "Not at all. We trust in our players. We are focused to be better and like a team.

"We don't speak about players until now. We have to be focused on our team. I think the team is competitive. We have very good players, so we don't speak about players now. Not the right time."
