Conte ‘insists’ on Wilfried Singo move as Levy sanctions Sam Johnstone deal

Tottenham’s victory against rivals Arsenal in the North London Derby has boosted their Champions League chances.

Spurs earned a point at Anfield in a strong defensive performance as they frustrated Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool before outplaying the Gunners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A fourth-place Premier League finish will secure Champions League football for next season and in doing so, help them to bring in new signings ahead of an important off-season for the future of the club, whilst they also hope to keep their better players. Here are the latest transfer rumours.

Multiple reports are suggesting that Spurs are interested in Torino right-back Wilfried Singo. The Ivory Coast attacking full-back has three goals and four assists to his name from 36 appearances this season – in what has been an impressive one for the youngster.

The 21-year-old’s performances have impressed Antonio Conte, according to Tuttosport, so much that the Tottenham manager ‘insists’ on his signing for the north London club.

Another player who is being heavily linked to Spurs is West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper and England international Sam Johnstone.

A move is getting closer with The Mirror stating that Daniel Levy has given the green light for the signing. Levy apparently sees the goalkeeper as a bargain buy that can add quality to the squad while freeing up funds to spend elsewhere.

And now, reporter Dan Kilpatrick is claiming that Spurs are in pole position. Johnstone has made more than 160 appearances for West Brom and in that time has won three caps for England. His experience will mean he can come in and compete with Lloris, or potentially even replace him when the French star eventually moves on.
