TOTTENHAM are reportedly set to promise Antonio Conte at least six new signings this summer to persuade the manager to stay.
Conte, 52, has flown to Italy to spend time with his wife and daughter after living alone in London since taking over at Spurs in November.
The Italian is said to be considering his Tottenham future and will talk with his family before making a decision, as they are unlikely to move to London with him.
Conte has a year remaining on his contract but Spurs Managing Director of Football Fabio Paratici is planning to join his compatriot in Italy to encourage him to stay, report The Telegraph.
The Spurs boss has refused to commit to the club but Paratici hopes the offer of new signings will persuade him to stay.
Conte is said to want between six to eight new players, including three defenders, a midfielder and a forward who can play centrally or out wide.
