Antonio Conte continues to build a strong team at Tottenham, but the coach understands that such a process will take more than one transfer window.

As reported by "Relevo" journalist Matteo Moretto, the Italian may aim to bring one of his former players to the Spurs.

The Italian journalist reports that A. Conte could be interested in luring Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante to Tottenham.

The Frenchman's contract expires next summer. Chelsea currently have no plans to extend the contract with the long-serving team player.

N. Kante played only 2 matches for Chelsea this season and will miss the World Cup due to a thigh muscle injury.
