Tottenham boss Antonio Conte insists he's happy counting on Bryan Gil and Pape Matar Sarr.

The pair were expected to move away on-loan, but have stayed.

Conte said, "We are talking about players that are really good prospect, but I was very clear with the club if someone go on loan, another player has to come in. Otherwise for me it's difficult to have also the training sessions. We are talking about really good prospect, young players. They have to work like Spence to develop and then to be ready to be Tottenham players for the future.

"This has to be very clear otherwise then it would be very important to not make confusions, make confusions to understand which other players if you want to be competitive or not. Young player, good prospect but at the same time we need to have players ready to play Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

"Ready to play with ambition, not only to play and develop during the game because for us the final result is vital. For me, for the club, for the fans, for everybody. The demand is high and for this reason we have to know we have to be ready for this demand."
