Tottenham to back Antonio Conte with £50m double transfer raid for Diego Carlos and Adama Traore from Sevilla and Wolves
Spurs yesterday entered the race with newly mega-rich club Newcastle for Sevilla centre-back Carlos.
And Conte’s side are set to make an improved offer for Wolves wideman Traore after having a £15m bid rejected.
Tottenham’s Italian boss has also expressed an interest in Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard, who was the subject of a second Newcastle loan bid last night.
Toon chief Eddie Howe is not giving up hope of signing Carlos despite Sevilla insisting the defender will stay in Spain.
But the Magpies’ chances of bringing in the Brazilian could be hit now Tottenham have joined the chase.
Conte is desperate to add to his squad before the window closes at the end of the month as they battle it out for Champions League qualification.
AC Milan are also keen on Carlos but are yet to match Newcastle’s initial £30m offer, which has not proved successful yet.
