Spurs need to sign top players: Conte

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte believes that only time and money can help the team become contenders and has urged the board to invest in top players if it is to compete with the "monsters" at the top of the Premier League.

Spurs, fifth in the league, travels to second-placed Liverpool on Saturday, with 21 points separating the two sides.

"If you have time, passion and a lot of money to invest, you can try to become competitive and to fight against these monsters," Conte told reporters ahead of the game.

"It's a difficult path because now this league is tough and the gap that exists between the top teams and the other teams is an important gap, but we have to try to work very hard and to improve season by season with good investment."

Spurs brought in Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus in January and Conte called for more such signings following the duo's impressive start in north London. Agencies
