It has been a whirlwind season for fans of Tottenham. From winning their first three league games to basically struggling to put any coherent run of form together. In came Antonio Conte, a serial winner. If the goal was Champions league football, despite all the obstacles, he delivered.
Tottenham’s owners have decided to reward him by investing £150m into the club to back Antonio Conte in the summer transfer market. The majority shareholder, Enic, has pledged the cash to provide “greater financial flexibility and the ability to further invest on and off the pitch”.
The additional funds, combined with revenue from a first season at their new stadium at full capacity will provide a boost.

What It means
It will be music to the ears of Conte. He has spoken about the desire to improve his squad with “important players” and Spurs have decided to back him. Conte will look to improve in certain key areas. Wing back has been a problem area, as well as the left side of defence. Spurs are also expected to pursue a high profile central midfielder in the off-season. There could be as many as five new faces when the new season rolls around.
Daniel Levy, the chairman, said: “The delivery of a world-class home was always a key building block in driving diversified revenues. This will enable us to invest in the team and support our ambitions. Additional capital from Enic will now enable further investment in the club at an important time.”
Conte is due to meet with the club this week to discuss his future. He had previously refused to commit to staying on as manager next season. This injection of cash promises to make the race for the top four even more exciting next season. Spurs will now press on to add more quality to support the efforts of Son and Harry Kane.
