Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte may now be faced with a big transfer decision this summer as he sets his sights on a key summer signing.

The Lowdown: Conte set for meeting...

The Italian, as he seeks to build upon Spurs' promising end to 2021/2022. will reportedly demand sufficient backing this summer.

Reliable journalist Matt Law of The Telegraph, sharing news in mid-week, claims that the former Chelsea boss is set to demand as many as six fresh faces in the next window.

The 52-year-old, according to Law's information, has his sights on a reserve goalkeeper, centre-back, right wing-back, two midfielders and a forward.

Conte is also set for crunch talks over transfers with chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici, but if he wants to seal the major signing of a forward, it is believed he will have a big decision to make - potentially involving Steven Bergwijn.

The Latest: Conte may have to sell Bergwijn...

As per The Telegraph, Tottenham's homegrown quota presents a complication to Conte's transfer plans, so much so that Law states he is 'likely to need to offload' one of Bergwijn or Lucas Moura if he wishes to seal the signing of an overseas forward.

Indeed, if the head coach wants to sign a back-up for star man Harry Kane, he may now have to part company with Lucas or Bergwijn - with Conte calling the latter man 'important'.

The Verdict: Big decision...

Deciding which player out of Bergwijn or Lucas to sell could be a tough decision, especially considering both men have their merits as back-up stars.

The latter man enjoyed some brilliant outings for Spurs earlier in 2021/2022, coming as a real regular until the last couple of months, meanwhile the same can be said of Bergwijn.

Tottenham's international winger most notably won an away game at Leicester single-handed, turning the 2-1 score line on it's head with an added time brace and clinching a 3-2 victory for Conte at the King Power Stadium.

What separates them, we believe, is age as Lucas slowly enters the twilight phase of his career at 29-years-old, while Bergwijn still has plenty of years left at 24.

If Conte wants to sign a new striker, parting company with the Brazilian over Bergwijn could be his best bet.

Called a 'big-game monster' for ex-Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, Conte's versatile attacker may well still have a part to play.
