Antonio Conte's decision to remain with Tottenham Hotspur next season after a crunch meeting with Daniel Levy last month appears to have hailed in an out-of-the-ordinary outlay of funds from the Spurs board.
Willing to back the manager who got them Champions League football at the end of the season, Tottenham's team is expected to look quite different at the outset of the 2022-23 campaign to how it did at the end of last season.
Conte demanded a refresh of the playing squad and it appears he has been granted his wish by the board, something they did not grant Mauricio Pochettino or Jose Mourinho.
