Your Tottenham morning digest on Saturday, August 6.
Wing-back hint
Antonio Conte has depth for his right wing-back spot with five players able to be used in that position and he has given them a key piece of advice to make themselves first choice for the season.
With Djed Spence joining the club from Middlesbrough this summer, he will be fighting with Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal for the spot, though Lucas Moura and Dejan Kulusevski have also been used there during pre-season.
Ahead of the season opener against Southampton, football.london can reveal the way Conte wants his wing-back to be.
Players missing
Spurs could be dealt a huge blow as they prepare to face Southampton with no sign of Yves Bissouma in training.
football.london had reported that he picked up a strain in the game against Roma last week and it could impact Antonio Conte's team selection as the Mali international misses out on key time with his teammates on the training pitch.

Cut price Zaniolo
Spurs might have the chance to sign Nicolo Zaniolo as the Roma midfielder has his price slashed, reports Italian outfit CalcioMercato.
With Paolo Dybala now on the books for Jose Mourinho, Zaniolo could be made available if Conte goes through with a reasonable bid for the player. Spurs are reported to have already held talks over a deal when Fabio Paratici was in Italy last week and the attacking midfielder could have been on the agenda.
