Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has now shared an exciting Tottenham Hotspur transfer update with manager Antonio Conte seemingly getting the club's full backing.

The Lowdown: Conte eyes major upgrades...

After he sealed a Premier League top four finish and the riches of Champions League football, it appears Spurs will go all out to ensure Conte's desired transfers are fulfilled.

Their £150 million equity increase will be used to back the Italian after his brilliant first season in charge with the club already confirming two new signings in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on Bosman deals.

It is believed that Lilywhites transfer chief Fabio Paratici is now after a left-sided central defender with Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni among Conte's top targets.

The Latest: Sheth shares exciting update...

According to Sky reporter Sheth, Spurs are now 'in talks' to sign the 23-year-old with both Conte and Paratici keen to get business done in early fashion.

He explained (via Twitter):

"Tottenham in talks with Inter Milan to sign central defender Alessandro Bastoni. Antonio Conte & Sporting Director Fabio Paratici keen to get majority of transfer business done before pre-season. Bastoni played for Conte when Inter won Serie A title in 2020/2021."

The Verdict: Get it done...

While Bastoni is reluctant to leave the San Siro, a major bid will apparently make chairman Steven Zhang green-light a sale - specifically around €70 million (£60m).

Tipped as Italy's next generation defensive star after Giorgio Chiellini, the Serie A starlet has also been called 'technically brilliant' by Italian football expert Conor Clancy.

If Spurs can make Bastoni their third signing after Forster, it's safe to say this would be the club's best start to a summer window before it's even opened.
