Davinson Sanchez hails Antonio Conte & Tottenham's new signings

Davinson Sanchez has praised the 'mentality' Antonio Conte has brought to Tottenham Hotspur since joining last November.

After a disastrous start to the 2021/22 season under Nuno Espirito Santo, Conte was brought in to steady the ship and secure UEFA Champions League qualification - two targets he was able to achieve.

Sanchez discussed how Conte has turned things around at Tottenham stating (via The Athletic): “As players we’ve been ready since the manager came.

“He brings another mentality and philosophy. As players last year we were trying to put into the pitch what he wants.

“We want to improve the many things we can and try to be ready for the Champions League. It’s a competition that everyone wants to be involved in.”

Ahead of Conte's first full season in charge, Tottenham have been active in the transfer market. So far the Lilywhites have secured the services of Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Fraser Forster and Clement Lenglet.

Speaking about the new level of competition in the squad, as well as tentative rumours about his own future, Sanchez said: “​​Every summer it’s been the same. This is my sixth season here.

“Of course, we are focusing on the team and what the season means for this club. And, of course, there are always possibilities but the Premier League is the best league in the world and you have to be part of it if you want to compete against the best players.

“The squad level is going to increase for sure. Competing, challenging with my team-mates always increases the healthy competition in the squad.

“We’re looking for that, not only in my position, but we have at least two players for each position which is good.”
