Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King has delivered his verdict on the signings Antonio Conte has brought to the club this summer.

As per the Athletic, King said that the arrivals of Richarlison, Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perisic in particular excite him.

He said that the Premier League experience of former Everton man Richarlison and Bissouma, who was brought in from Brighton, is a plus.

And King expects Perisic to have no problems adjusting to the Premier League because of his experience at the upper echelons of the game.

King rates Tottenham signings

When asked if having Premier League experience is important for Tottenham’s new-boys, King said: “It makes a difference but Kulusevski and Bentancur took to the Premier League straight away.

“They were excellent and played a big part in the team finishing the season in the top four.

“But there’s no doubt players like Richarlison and Bissouma know the league well. Perisic is experienced, played at the highest level.

“You’d think you wouldn’t have to worry about these players settling in. They know the levels expected and they should be fine.”

Tottenham got their season off to a flying start with a 4-1 home win over Southampton on Saturday, coming from behind to clinch victory.

That was without much of a contribution from their new faces, so it is to be hoped that there is much more to come from the summer arrivals.

Tottenham have of course also brought in Djed Spence, Fraser Forster and Clement Lenglet during a busy summer, where they have done plenty of early business.
