Tottenham boss Conte pushed about contract and transfers: What do I want us to do?

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte remains coy over new contract talks.

Conte is being linked with a return to Juventus in Italy.

Asked if Spurs' market work will influence his thinking, Conte replied on Friday: "No, but I think I would like also in the future to not speak about this matter in the press conference because I think it is much more important the game we are going to play, in this case Brentford. But what I can tell you is I am really happy in the club, to work here and I have a really good relationship with the club.

"We talk every day with the club and try to find in every situation the best solution. But I think we have six months to stay together, to enjoy the situation and then we find, I repeat, the best solution. But I am really happy here. This is very, very important for me."

On next month's market, Conte also said: "What do I want the club to do? I think it's not right to say this. I think that in every club, there is the head coach, and sporting director and the owner, to try to speak about the situation. I can give advice to my club, the way to try to improve the team, and to improve the quality in the squad. Especially because after five months, the situation has changed, from the start of the season.

"I think if there is the opportunity to strengthen the squad, we will do something. You know which is our policy, you know very well which is our policy, we will try to follow this policy and to improve the team, if there is the possibility to strengthen the squad we will do it. Otherwise, we will continue with these players, and I am happy with them.

"You know about the signing, signing players, and about young players. About players with not big salaries, and this. We have to sign players, that they can stay in our vision, in the vision of the club."
