Antonio Conte has suffered a fresh blow at Tottenham Hotspur after one of the club's senior transfer experts has left the club.
It's the Spurs manager's second transfer blow in a matter of days after the transfer window closed without the club being able to secure a new right wing-back – although he's now been urged to re-position one of his current players to fill that role.
Conte had wanted to bring in a new midfielder and striker during the transfer window, but only Rodrigo Bentancur came in to fill one of those roles, while the club did also secure the signing of Dejan Kulusevski, both from Juventus.
And with the transfer window now closed, another Juve star has dropped a huge hint that he may be set to follow them both to London.

Conte urged to re-position Moura
Antonio Conte failed to land his top target to fill the right wing-back role as Adama Traore joined Spanish giants Barcelona on loan hours before the January transfer window closed.
Filling the role had been one of Conte's top priorities heading into the window but the club failed to land a suitable player, and Conte has now been urged to try Lucas Moura in the position.
Ex-Spurs player Graham Roberts believes Lucas Moura fits the bill perfectly and can make an impact for Conte's team between now and the end of the season.
Roberts listed three attributes he sees as being key in the wing-back role, and believes Moura has displayed all of them during his time at the club.
Transfer blow
Tottenham's director of technical performance Steve Hitchen has left his role with the club in yet another transfer blow for SPurs manager Antonio Conte.
He had helped assemble the Spurs side that reached the Champions League final in 2019 under Mauricio Pochettino and is the last member of the club's hierachy to leave from the Argentinian's time in charge.
Reports suggest Hitchen had become frustrated with having to accept a reduced role under managing director of football Fabio Paratici, and that he may now make the switch to another Premier League rival.
Juve ace drops transfer hint
Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie has hinted he may be set to sign for Tottenham in the next transfer window.
McKennie's former Juve teammates Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur arrived at Tottenham on transfer deadline day, with the USA international havbing also been linked with a move to north London in the past.
He has now sent fans into a frenzy after sending a public message of good luck to his two ex-teammates, insisting that he'll 'see them soon'.
