Antonio Conte is expected to STAY at Tottenham next season as he holds crunch talks with Fabio Paratici to plot their summer transfer business after £150m injection - with Alessandro Bastoni, Ivan Perisic and Djed Spence all on the Italian's radar

• Antonio Conte is now expected to be Tottenham's manager again next season 
• Conte wants a new centre back with Alessandro Bastoni his first-choice target
• Full back Djed Spence and Eintracht Frankfurt's Filip Kostic are other targets
• As are Ivan Perisic, Adama Traore, Richarlison and Allan Saint-Maximin for Conte

Antonio Conte and Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici are in Italy for a crucial transfer summit, with the club’s manager now expected to stay next season.

Numerous sources claim there is little concern behind the scenes at Spurs that Conte will take the drastic step of walking away after the club qualified for the Champions League on the final day.

Conte and Paratici are in Turin and held talks on Friday to map out the club’s recruitment plans.

Conte is understood to have arrived in Italy at the start of the week to begin his summer break. Paratici was in Italy on Monday but returned to London before heading back to his homeland to meet Conte.

News of Conte’s commitment to Tottenham will come to a major relief to the club’s supporters, who had grown concerned the Italian could leave if he felt his ambition wasn’t matched.

Key members of the squad will also be happy that Conte is staying. For instance, sources claim Harry Kane is happy and excited about the direction the team is headed under Conte.

The striker, who was intent on leaving for Manchester City last summer, is entering the final two years of his contract and while there has been no progress towards a possible extension, Kane feels much more positive about his future at the club under Conte.

Likewise, Golden Boot winner Heung-min Son will be delighted with the prospect of continuing to work with Conte.

Tottenham have already started making firm enquiries for players as they look to fully back Conte’s vision.

Conte wants a new centre-back; Sportsmail understands Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni is the club’s first-choice candidate in that position. Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Red Bull Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol are alternatives.

Tottenham will complete a deal for Fraser Forster on a free transfer. The goalkeeper, who leaves Southampton next month, is understood to have already completed his medical. He will provide back-up to No 1 Hugo Lloris.

Bristol City full-back Djed Spence is of interest to Tottenham as is Eintracht Frankfurt’s wing-back Filip Kostic.

The future of Inter winger Ivan Perisic is also being monitored. Wolves forward Adama Traore, who snubbed Tottenham for a loan to Barcelona in January, is re-emerging as a target.

It is also understood Allan Saint-Maximin is of interest to Tottenham, but getting him of Newcastle will prove difficult. Spurs are also monitoring Richarlison’s future at Tottenham.

Conte and Paratici will also look to offload a number of the club’s fringe players this summer.

Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn, Sergio Reguilon Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon are among the players facing uncertain futures.
