Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has already identified four players to sell in January as he prepares to get to work in north London, according to reports. The Italian coach was officially confirmed as Nuno Espirito Santo's permanent successor on Tuesday after the latter was relieved of his duties last week.

The former Inter boss is prepared to sell Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura when January rolls around, according to Spanish outlet AS.

Surprised LoCelso is one of the 4.
Bergwijn and Moura don't really fit his formation, do they?

We aren't losing many goals there!
I feel sorriest for moura, who always works hard and his runs are pretty bold even if they always end up with him in a heap.

If true this is a dampener. I really think we should keep both Bergwin and Moura, especially Moura. Dele Ali, Doherty, Winks and Davies would be my chosen four

He's had about 3 days with the squad - why would Amalia Fra from AS of all outlets know exactly which 4 players he wants to lose?

Think she's just picked 4 players that she personally doesn't think fit the system and the Express have copied it.

The first two words of your post are the key ones. How the hell would anyone know his plans at this point?

FFS... get a grip, it's the daily express quoting a Spanish outlet. How can that have any credibility?. The express runs stories about Elvis driving a bus on the moon.
Hang on........ might be something in this.

If we are playing 3-5-2 I’d like to see Moura as a back up striker; I’ve always felt he’s most effective through the middle

I think you can call bullshit in this one. He’s not going to make a decision like that before the first game. He has 2mi this to see what he’s got at his disposable before deciding it’s actually 8 stars that he wants to sack off.

Lo Celso has been awful for too long and is theoretically worth some money. I'd happily sell him if it meant getting in someone Conte wants.
