Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has spoken about his happiness at the club and his long-term plans.

The Italian has often intimated that he is uncertain about how long he will remain as Spurs coach.

Conte believes the club must back him with big name signings, which he reiterated after their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Asked if he wants to be part of the project during a press conference, Conte stated: “This is a problem between me and the club. Now I am really committed for this club and for Tottenham. Then there is this project and I signed a contract with this club to accept this project and try to build and help the club. During this process it can happen 1,000 things. The club can sack the manager or there are different visions, different situations."

On his happiness, he added: “I am happy but I always say to you I am happy. I want to stay here. I am enjoying my time in Tottenham, I am enjoying my work in Tottenham. I always say this and I am happy but it doesn't mean I cannot tell you what we are doing. We are trying to create a base foundation.

“Maybe from the start of my experience here I am repeating always the same thing. It is difficult for me every day to repeat the same thing and for you not to understand. It is difficult. I am happy to stay here because I am at a modern club, I have a good relationship with the players and I have a good relationship with the club.

“Sometimes I go home and think I have to study much more English because I am not good to transfer my thoughts to you because I am not good."
