Antonio Conte could get one back on Tottenham Hotspur for his sacking two years ago, with the Italian now looking to take one of the Premier League side’s best players to Napoli this summer.
Even though the summer transfer window is still a distance away, the speculation regarding Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer objectives has already begun intensifying.
While most of the rumours over recent weeks have been about potential incomings, some big outgoings could also be on the cards this summer.
It has been reported over recent days that Cristian Romero could leave Tottenham this summer, and it has now been suggested that the Argentine could be joined on his way out by another one of the club’s best players.

Antonio Conte determined to sign Dejan Kulusevski from Tottenham
TuttoJuve have now claimed that Conte has told the Napoli hierarchy to sign Tottenham attacker Dejan Kulusevski this summer.
The Italian was in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when the Swede was signed from Juventus, and he now wants to reunite with the player at Naples.
The outlet reveals that Conte has told his bosses that he wants a competitive squad with high-quality options to compete on multiple fronts.

The former Tottenham head coach has identified Kulusevski as one such option, with the 24-year-old expected to be one of Conte’s priorities for the summer window.
Will Napoli’s interest turn Kulusevski’s head?
There is no doubt that Tottenham will want to keep Kulusevski and one would not expect the North London club to entertain any offers for the winger.
However, the Swede might be tempted by the opportunity to play Champions League football and compete for the Serie A title under a manager he knows well.
Spurs will be reasonably relaxed about the situation for the time being as Kulusevski’s current deal runs until 2028.
