ANTONIO CONTE and Tottenham are to hold fresh talks today over his future at the club, according to reports.
Conte’s deal expires at the end of the season, but the North Londoners want him to sign a contract extension.

He’s also beaten off a tough injury list to keep his side in the top four this season and also qualify for the last-16 in Europe’s elite competition.
Conte will be hoping to continue the good work once the Prem resumes later this month, with Brentford away on Boxing Day.
But before then, The Athletic claim that the ex-Chelsea manager is set for talks over a new deal.
