Antonio Conte is reportedly already looking to get rid of four Tottenham Hotspur players despite only joining the club this week.
The 52-year-old was unveiled as Spurs' new manager on Tuesday, succeeding Nuno Espirito Santo, who had been relieved of his duties 26 hours prior.

Since the Italian's arrival, many players have been linked with a move to the North London club, including the Juventus duo of Matthijs de Ligt and Federico Chiesa, with the Spurs hierarchy prepared to give their new boss €100 million (R1.7 billion) to spend in the January transfer window, according to CalcioMercato.
However, it has now been suggested that Conte already has an exit list planned for January, which could allow the head coach to generate even more income to spend.

Per Spanish news outlet Diario AS, attacking midfielder Dele Alli is among the quartet of players the former Chelsea manager is ready to offload. The 25-year-old was strongly linked with a move away from the Lilywhites in the most recent transfer window after falling down the pecking order during Jose Mourinho's tenure at the club.
Another player who could soon be on his way out is Steven Bergwijn, who joined the side from PSV Eindhoven in January 2020 for €30 million (R530 million), but has seemingly struggled to live up to expectations after netting only four goals in 60 appearances, according to Transfermarkt.
The remaining two players said to be on Conte's exit list are the South American duo of Lucas Moura and Giovani Lo Celso.
