Ledley King delivers Antonio Conte verdict, discusses chances of Tottenham finishing in top four places
(Wednesday, 12.35PM) that Antonio Conte could take Tottenham ꦺinto t❀he top four – following his appointment.
Conte, 52, put pen to paper on an 18-month deal with a view to another year. A somewhat surprising move, he rejecte🎀d a move in the summer.
The ex-Chelsea, Juventus, Inter and Italy gaffer was first choice in the summer. But Spurs were rejected on numerous occasions b✱y managers.
It saw them hire Nuno Espirito Santo, who was potentially fifth or sixth choice. Pa🌄ulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gatt🎃uso and more failed to get the job.
Tottenham l🦩e🔜gend King has responded on SSN when asked about Conte, giving his verdict and whether Spurs can finish in the top four.

“It’s huge, a real statement of intent. Conte is on🥂e of the best around. To secure his services is great, Spurs fans should be ex🌺cited,” King said.
“He is a serial winner. It’s difficult [top-four spot], but it’s realis𝕴tic. The performances have not been there, but the league position is not bad.”
King on Conte: Can Tottenham really get into the top four?
Before the start of the ♔season, it looked clear. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manches꧑ter City were easily the top four sides.
That has rang t🎐rue so far. Chelsea have proven their title creden𓂃tials, while Manchester City are the champions and Liverpool are back to their best.
Manchester United have stuttered despite their summer signings. But✃ they are still far ahead of Spurs, beating Tottenha🎃m 3-0 on Sunday at Spurs.
So, do Tottenham have a chance of breaking into the top four? Of course they do, at this early stagꦍe – but they will have to be at their very, very best.
