Several
players
slipped
out
of
the
Italian’s
grasp
including
Luis
Diaz,
Adama
Traore.
But
with
two
major
signings
from
his
former
club
Juventus
Dejan
Kulusevski
and
Rodrigo
Bentancur,
the
Italian
should
be
somewhat
calmed.
Both
the
new
signings
are
expected
to
slot
directly
into
the
line-up
however
Saturday’s
FA
Cup
game
against
Brighton
&
Hove
Albion
perhaps
could
come
too
soon
for
them.
Bentancur
is
yet
to
join
the
training
due
to
his
involvement
in
the
Uruguay
team
in
the
World
Cup
qualifying
round.
Kulusevski
on
the
other
hand
could
be
counted
in
the
squad,
however,
Conte
may
not
involve
him
from
the
beginning
of
the
Fa
cup
tie
so
soon.
The
next
week’s
mid-week
Premier
League
fixture
is
likely
to
be
both
of
their
first
starts.
If
so,
the
Italian
tactician
is
likely
to
utilise
them
in
the
first
XI
with
a
3-4-2-1
formation.
So
far,
Conte
has
mostly
settled
with
a
midfield
pivot
of
Pierre-Emile
Hojbjerg
and
Oliver
Skipp
with
Harry
Winks
often
called
upon.
Bentancur
is
mostly
expected
to
feature
ahead
of
Skipp
in
the
starting
XI.
The
Danish
midfielder
has
been
an
engine
under
Conte
so
far,
hence
he
is
likely
to
be
given
the
role
of
a
box
to
box
midfielder.
The
Uruguayan
midfielder
on
the
other
hand
is
likely
to
appear
as
an
anchor
to
the
side,
playing
as
a
holding
midfielder.
On
the
final
third,
the
52-year-old
however
will
face
some
tough
decisions
to
make
but
might
go
with
the
new
arrival
Kulusevski,
alongside
Harry
Kane
and
Lucas
Moura.
Son
who
is
currently
out
injured
could
be
lined-up
ahead
of
Moura
next,
following
his
return.
Conte,
however,
could
also
choose
to
use
Kulusevski
as
a
right
wing-back
as
well.
The
21-year-old
has
played
as
a
wing-back
at
Juventus
a
couple
of
times.
And
with
Conte
not
actually
content
with
Emerson
Royal’s
performance,
he
could
use
the
new
signing
ahead
of
him
as
well.
Ultimately
both
the
players
are
expected
to
offer
further
support
bridging
the
gap
between
Tottenham’s
midfield
and
attack.
Now
the
big
question
would
be
how
quickly
they
can
adapt
to
the
different
environments.
