Taking to Twitter, reliable journalist Dan Kilpatrick of The Evening Standard has shared a major update out of Tottenham Hotspur involving Antonio Conte.
The Lowdown: Spurs suffer shock defeat...
The Lilywhites are looking to gain momentum after their 3-2 win over English frontrunners Manchester City at the weekend, but instead they slumped to their fourth Premier League defeat in five matches on Wednesday night.

Relegation battlers Burnley seemingly brought Tottenham back to reality as they beat Conte's side 1-0 at Turf Moor, courtesy of defender Ben Mee's close-range finish.
The Italian's future at Spurs has been a point of contention since then following his emotional post-match outburst, and Kilpatrick has now shared an update on Twitter.
The Latest: Conte set for 'urgent' talks...
As noted by the reliable journalist for the Evening Standard, Tottenham's head coach is set for 'urgent' talks with the club following a night to forget.
Kilpatrick tweeted: "Antonio Conte suggested he may not be the right man for the Spurs job and is set for urgent talks with the club after a fourth defeat in five League matches at Burnley."
The Verdict: Big few days?
The Italian arrived at Spurs with a proven track record of winning silverware and comes as a crucial figure in Tottenham's quest to recapture success since Mauricio Pochettino's departure in 2019.
Losing the 52-year-old, who could also help to attract big-name players in the summer transfer window, would certainly be a major blow for the club given his CV, and it's a scenario that chairman Daniel Levy will surely be hoping to avoid.
Spurs fans must be praying that the former Chelsea boss opts to remain with the Lilywhites ahead of what will be a crucial year, but if he does stay, the club and Levy must simply back him as he seeks to rebuild.
