Conte on transfers: World Cup break offers chance to assess
Speaking before the start of the World Cup, Antonio Conte said the break would allow Tottenham to conduct a mid-season evaluation which could influence the club’s January transfer policy.

“For sure, after the first part of the season, it’s right to have a meeting with the club to discuss the positives and negatives and ways to improve. Then we will see what we can do,” he said.
