Conte looks to bring Serie A players Vlahovic and Skriniar to Tottenham

Having recently joined Tottenham, Antonio Conte is now thinking about the players he wants with regards to the future. He will have to wait to make signings, but he now more or less has a plan of action. 

According to the 'Sunday Express', the Spurs coach is reportedly interested in Vlahovic and Skriniar. These two players in Serie A are reportedly the first requests that he has made to the board. 

Conte thinks that they have to improve in attack and defence. And who better than these two players who he knows perfectly, especially Skriniar. He coached him at Inter and made him a Serie A champion. 

Skriniar's contract at Inter ended in 2023. That means that, next summer, the club will have the last opportunity to cash in on his sale if they are unable to persuade him to renew.

In the case of Vlahovic is going to be more difficut, especially because of the fierce competition. Arsenal, for example, also want him and they are willing to pay 80 million euros for him. That means Tottenham will have to dig deep into their pockets if they want to get the Fiorentina striker. 

Fabio Paratici, Tottenham's sporting director, who used to be at Juventus, is on Conte's side. Just like the coach, his time in Italy means he is fully aware of the capability of those two players and he has reportedly given him the all clear to try and get the pair to move to North London.
