Antonio Conte has told Daniel Levy that Tottenham must spend 'a lot of money' if they are to follow the successful model at Liverpool and begin to challenge regularly for trophies - and also revealed he has a 'very big' shopping list.
Conte, who was hired in November in the hope of inspiring Spurs on to a top-four finish, has refused to confirm whether he will still be at the club next season - and a key factor behind his decision is likely to be whether he is backed or not.
In his press conference today, the Italian pointed to Jurgen Klopp's ability to transform his side into powerhouses after being handed a war chest to splash over a number of years, and insisted that money is the only way to guarantee success.
