ANTONIO CONTE has mocked the suggestion that Tottenham’s rivals are “in transition”.
Chelsea and Manchester United are two of the clubs chasing down Spurs in the Premier League after the North London club’s impressive start to the season.
Whereas both of them appointed new managers over the last few month, Conte is approaching his first anniversary as boss at Tottenham after a rollercoaster 12 months.
But the Italian manager, without a win in his last three, has rubbished suggestions that the clubs Tottenham are ahead of are works-in-progress.
When asked if Spurs could take advantage of the two clubs this season, Conte said: “If Chelsea are in transition after they won the Champions League two years ago and last season they won the World Cup, United two years ago finished second.
