Tottenham news: Antonio Conte names star who ‘has to play’ vs Burnley ‘even with one leg’ | Football | Sport

Having put the Spurs’ troubling run of form to bed, Conte also opened up on his time at the club so far, with many tipping him to jump ship in the summer after a frustrating January transfer window. 

Four senior stars left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month and only two came in to take their places, despite Conte’s concerns over his squad’s ability to compete with the league’s big hitters. 

The Italian was said to be delivering ‘uncomfortable home truths’ to chairman Daniel Levy behind the scenes, which threatened to see the relationship break down. 

But Conte’s glowing rundown of current events will be music to Tottenham fans’ ears, given his pedigree with the likes of Juventus, Inter Milan and Chelsea.
