In a flurry of speculation and anticipation, a number of British media outlets have reported that Italian manager Antonio Conte has firmly committed to remain at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur, injecting new vitality into the north London side for next season. Meanwhile, Croatian star Perisic is also about to join Tottenham, and the two sides have reached an agreement on joining the team, with which he will sign a two-year contract. Conte took over at Spurs midway through the season, and with his unique tactical philosophy and team building, he has led the team to make significant progress, finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League. Despite rumors that Conte may seek a bigger stage, the Tottenham hierarchy and fans need not worry as they have been trying hard to convince Conte to stay. While Conte was on vacation, Tottenham director Paratici personally traveled to Italy to meet with Conte and have an in-depth discussion on the reinforcement plan. Paratici promised that the team will fully support Conte's ambitions and plans to sign at least six new players. Conte is proud of his own achievements at Tottenham: "Leading Tottenham to a top-four finish was the most glorious moment of my coaching career. Even though we didn't win the title this season, I only joined the team in November and to finally qualify for the Champions League is amazing in itself. Although it wasn't a title, we have reason to celebrate because it was the best we could achieve." Leading journalists Romano and Scilla both confirmed that Conte has agreed to stay in charge at Tottenham. Tottenham have officially announced that they will be investing £150 million of permanent capital into the squad, which will be entirely under Conte's control. Currently, Tottenham are close to signing free agent goalkeeper Foster and plan to bring in two wing-backs, a center-back and a striker. Today, the British media revealed that it is only a matter of time before Tottenham sign Perisic. It is reported that Perisic has reached an agreement with Tottenham and will join as a free agent. He turned down a contract extension from Inter, while Tottenham offered him a deal worth €6 million a year. 33-year-old Perisic made 49 appearances for Inter this season, scoring 10 goals and assisting 9 times, and Conte spoke highly of his strength and potential. Conte's retention will also see Tottenham striker Kane give up on the idea of leaving the club. Since Conte's arrival, Kane has found his form, and his mental outlook and competitive level have improved significantly. Yesterday, Kane said: "I enjoy working with Conte. I am very proud to work for him and run for him. I respected him and enjoyed every moment working under him. I have made huge progress under him and hope to continue to do so."
