Spurs have made some amazing signings so far this window spending well over £100 million to help expand Conte’s options next season. However, it hasn’t just been the new signings that have been catching Spurs fans eyes in pre-season, it’s been Harry Kane. 

Last summer there was noise occurring from Tottenham and Kane that it was almost certain Kane would be joining Man City as the future did not look good for Spurs, yet Kane stayed. Kane was not his normal self under Nuno and his individual performances resembled the whole club at this time, an utter mess. Things quickly changed due to the arrival of serial winner Antonio Conte as Kane started to find his feet again. 

Since Conte has come in Kane has walked around with a smile on his face whilst also looking better physically this was shown as his performances in the back end of last season were utterly superb. His performances lifted the team, Kane was making players look better and was certainly a key reason to why Spurs finished inside the top 4. 

During Antonio Conte’a brutal pre-season Kane is looking like he’s in his peak state and his performances have certainly been showing it. The Englishman has scored four goals in three matches. His goals haven’t been tap ins, he’s been smashing them in from outside the box and also scoring a free kick. Kane is heading into the new season with a completely different mindset compared to a year ago. 

The England Captains future is being questioned again as reports are suggesting interest from Germany. Bayern Munich recently lost Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona and undoubtedly Kane is top of their list to replace him but Conte has described these rumours as “disrespectful” and Kane is very much an “important part of our project” the Spurs coach said after Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann made some comments on Harry Kane. 

From a personal perspective I can’t see Kane leaving anytime soon. Conte and Kane both being happy is the ideal world for Spurs as the two are pivotal for Spurs if they want success. As long as Conte is kept happy from the backing of Levy and Paratici, Kane won’t be leaving anytime soon. 

Kane will certainly live up to his extraordinary standards and Spurs fans could potentially see Kane’s most productive season yet.

Zaniolo is 23 years old and is regarded as one of the best young talents in Italy but his progress has been halted recently due to two ACL injuries but recently the young Italian has been fit and firing for Mourinho’s Roma. 

Conte, Paratici and Levy have been searching for a young attacking minded midfielder who can provide plenty of goal threat and Zaniolo is a great example of this. Zaniolo brings strength, speed and composure in the final third, a perfect balance. 

Zaniolo had his first season back last season since his second ACL injury and got 17 goals/assists which is pushing towards the numbers he was getting before his injuries which is an amazing sign. Zaniolo was operated on his ACL by the same doctor who operated on Serial winner and Italian captain Giorgio Chiellini and is regarded as the ‘best around’ as the Italian captain has had nothing wrong his ACL after his successful operation. 

Zaniolo put on a show in the UEFA Conference League Final scoring the decisive goal to bring glory to Rome. He played with elegance and composure and certainly caught my eye. 

Zaniolo has the ability to play as a ’10’ or play on the right, this would bring excellent flexibility to Conte’s attackers. Zaniolo is definitely a Conte player as he is a ‘physical freak’ he’s unplayable his desire and work rate set him above others. But his two major injuries are certainly and issue. Zaniolo is certainly a player who I’d love to see at Tottenham next season and could become the missing piece to Tottenham’s puzzle. 

Now, the choice may lie with Tottenham, will they push for James Maddison or Nicolo Zaniolo?

James Maddison has been one of the most underrated players in the Premier League of the last few years as he has consistently produced good numbers. Tottenham have been struggling with home grown numbers and also need a attacking midfielder who can produce moments of magic whilst being able to break down lower block teams. 

Maddison has been a stand out performer over several years for the foxes after his move from Norwich. Maddison is know for his pin-point shot accuracy and precise set pieces making him the ideal signing for Spurs. 

But how will Maddison fit in into Contes side?

Conte is known for his 3-4-3 formation which does not involve an attacking midfielder. However, last season Spurs found it extremely difficult to break down teams who parked the bus. This cost Spurs a lot of points. With Maddison Spurs can shift to a 3-4-1-2 with Maddison having a free role behind two of the Spurs attackers. These is key for Spurs next season as it will bring them different plans and make it harder for teams to understand what’s going to happen. 

James Maddison’s price will certainly be high due to him being homegrown, Premier League proven and Leicesters star player. But, Harry Winks has been attracting interest from Leicester over the past weeks with Youri Tielemans looking to be heading out elsewhere this summer meaning Winks could be heading towards the Foxes. This would be superb for Spurs as it would decrease the price giving Conte’s side more wiggle room incase a good opportunity occurs later on in the window. 

Maddison would certainly be a superb addition for Tottenham and a big statement signing as he is not guaranteed to start but it’s the new look Spurs, the Spurs Tottenham fans are starting to adore.
