Antonio Conte hasn’t hidden his desire to strengthen his first-team options.

Gold outlined that a number of players on the cusp of Conte’s team now have an opportunity to impress him.

Tottenham have a dozen players at the World Cup, so the likes of Djed Spence and Bryan Gil can now work closely with Conte.

However, believe he could leave on loan in January.

Another player who could leave the club on a temporary basis is youngster Alfie Devine.

Devine likely to leave Tottenham on loan

“I’ve seen quite a bit of Alfie, he does look like a man among boys sometimes.

“With Alfie, everything is on him. He was likely to head out on loan this season, and then he picked up a really frustrating hamstring injury.

“It stopped the chances of him heading out on loan, and you would presume now that it will happen in January.

“He needs it, he needs to do what Dane’s [Scarlett] done. He needs to go to a League One team.

“Get him playing week in, week out, every minute possible, and I think you’ll see a very rapid development.”

Devine has already written his name in Tottenham’s history books, as he’s currently their youngest ever scorer.

He’s been a regular in Antonio Conte’s first-team training, and already learnt a lot from the senior members of the squad.

that Conte is a big fan of Devine’s, and would have been very pleased to see him sign .

Conte has struggled to give Tottenham’s younger players minutes this season.

The 18-year-old may be given an opportunity against Portsmouth in the FA Cup.

However, Conte already has a large senior squad to try and keep happy.

Devine now looks likely to leave the club on loan in January.

Plenty of lower leagues clubs could be clamouring to bring him in.
