Kessie, Tete, wing-backs and Conte's two Tottenham January transfer priorities

The January transfer window opens in just three days and Antonio Conte needs new faces in his Tottenham Hotspur squad for the second half of the season

www.football.london

football.london understands that the Spurs recruitment chief is an admirer of 22-year-old Brazilian midfielder Tete, who is currently on loan at Lyon from Shakhtar Donetsk. The winger has netted six goals and laid on three assists in 14 Ligue 1 games this season but he has found starts harder to come by under new Lyon boss Laurent Blanc in the past six matches. A number of Premier League clubs have been alerted to his potential availability next month.

5 '9 and 70 kg is on the small side for Conte no? Don't know alot about him , can't lie.

I was watching a video of his the other day and all I could think was “wow this guy dribbles just like Kulusevski”.

Not seen loads of him, but he plays a lot as a RW (but can play across the front), very left footed but he’s quick, comfortable picking up the ball deep and driving at players and gets in great positions at the back post to knick a few goals.

FBref stats are off the charts for him too, and he clearly works his socks off defensively. Also, Deki is one of his player comparisons!

Why is he on loan? Seems strange.

Foreign players in the Ukraine were given special dispensation to leave their clubs by a variety of means. For obvious reasons.

Be very interested to see how he does. Seems like a good move for Leeds tho.

Decent player and lightning fast with some great dribbling skill. I'd like him at spurs but with all the attacking wingers we have now i doubt he'd rarely get a start.

 

[stevespurs]

Can he play LWB or CB? If not, I still want him though

 

[SuperPav10]

Never seen him play, but I think we should hijack this one. I don't care who we sign anymore, so long as it's a hijacking. That's where the excitement is in our windows these days. And I'm here for it.

Odd loan by Leicester

Can't tell whether there's an option. On their website it says he will return to Lyon on July 1st, so I presume not.

He's 5'9" actually.
