Speaking on BT Sport ahead of the game against Burnley, the former Manchester United defender said: ‘I think he has done enough to deserve that. He is third in terms of points gained and goals scored since he got here, which tells you the levels he is at. 

‘They put in a performance at Liverpool, they’re coming and it showed at Anfield. he wants to see that play out. You have to bet on him. 

‘You can’t question this guy in terms of what he can bring, the intensity. Where do they go from here? If you’re not taking Conte, who is in the market better equipped? Nobody. Conte is the man 100 per cent for Spurs.’

Following a poor start to the season, Tottenham’s season took a turn for the better following Conte’s arrival.
