Spanish newspaper AS claim Antonio Conte is to put four of Tottenham’s first-team attacking stars up for sale – including Brazilian ace Lucas Moura.

Conte has penned an 18-month deal at Tottenham, having turned down a move to Spurs in the summer. Something has changed to convince Conte.

Clearly, Conte is likely to be bring in players and will be given the money to spend. But even without needing to raise cash, they need to make room.

The North London side have numerous options in the final third, and a couple of players could be offloaded. AS claim four are up for sale.

Gio Lo Celso is a surprise inclusion on the list, as is Brazil international Lucas. Perhaps less surprisingly, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn could go.

Conte ready to sell four: Tottenham duo should feel hard done by

Dele and Bergwijn have been poor for Tottenham during the last 12 months. Brief resurgent bouts of form have not resulted in anything for Dele.

Bergwijn starred in the 1-0 win over Manchester City, but the Netherlands international has been poor ever since. Injuries have not helped.

So, it is no surprise to see Dele and Bergwijn on the list. But for Lo Celso and Lucas, it might be harsh to see that they have been transfer listed.

Lo Celso is able to play in numerous different positions and Lucas is probably the club’s best option on the right. They are decent options.

So to find themselves in the firing line could be a sign that Conte is ready to rip up the squad and basically, make his own.
