Tottenham told 'Conte two signings away from title winning team'

Former Liverpool and Wales star Dean Saunders insists Tottenham are two signings away from being title contenders.

Spurs moved quickly to snap up Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on free transfers following the end of the season, before £30 million was splashed out on Yves Bissouma from Brighton last week.

Saunders told talkSPORT: “He's gone in there, got the running stats up, and they've got ready-made pros there who have now got the bit between their teeth. He's made two good signings from the club he was at in the past and they've both played well.

“They've got [Heung-Min] Son, [Harry] Kane, [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg, [Cristian] Romero, and if they sign another world class centre-back, Spence is a better prospect than Emerson [Royal]. The manager is relentless. He doesn't just want to win something now, he's not interested in four years he'll have a good team, he wants to win something now or he's off.

“He will be saying: 'Let me know, Daniel Levy, if you don't give me the funds to buy the ready mades'. Perisic is ready-made. He's going to improve them right now. I think they are a couple of signings away from having a right go at Man City and Liverpool."
