Redknapp urges Spurs boss Conte to go for Juventus captain Chiellini

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Antonio Conte should move for Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini.

He wrote for The Sun: "Antonio Conte may be all smiles at the minute but he'll have no problem ruffling a few feathers to get Tottenham back on the straight and narrow.

"And if I were Conte, the first thing I'd be doing is telling Daniel Levy there is another Italian who should be joining him in North London as soon as possible.

"Over the next few weeks, no doubt, we'll see a list of the supposed big-name targets he wants when the transfer window opens.

"I doubt very much if 37-year-old Giorgio Chiellini will be on it but, for me, he's the one man the new Spurs manager should move Heaven and Earth to bring to London with him.

"I know they'd hardly be signing someone for the long term, but in terms of sorting them out immediately, there would be no one better.

"And we saw once again on Thursday against Vitesse Arnhem - hardly one of Europe's big guns - how badly Spurs need someone to take command of that defence."
