Conte angry at Spurs after January transfer business: 'Their policy is to weaken the squad'

Despite the arrival of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, Antonio Conte is not at all happy with the way Spurs have conducted business in January.

The former Chelsea boss took a swipe at his club's transfer strategy (via Sky Italy): "Should you find something like this, it is always difficult to make comparisons, but surely when you take the job in a team that hasn't won for a long time it is inevitable that you will lack confidence. 

"I glimpsed situations that could have developed, then when you enter the situation you understand that something... what happened in January is not easy. 

"Four players left in January. Four important players for Tottenham, two have arrived. So even numerically instead of strengthening yourself you may have, on paper, weakened. 

"Bentancur and Kulusevski are the ideal prospect for Tottenham. Because Tottenham is looking for young players, players to be developed, not ready players."

Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil moved away on loan deals, making it four departures with two arrivals.

Spurs have lost their last three league games in a row and their top 4 push is now looking very unlikely, especially with Conte seeming so discontent!
