Tottenham news: Villarreal star eyed as Antonio Conte explains Spurs injury concerns for Arsenal

Here is your Tottenham Hotspur morning digest on Friday, September 30.

Spurs eye Torres as Conte has centre-back worries

Fichajes claim that Tottenham are interested in signing Villarreal star, Pau Torres. Antonio Conte has reportedly asked the club hierarchy to add more quality to Spurs' back line because he is unsure about the quality of Davinson Sánchez and Clement Lenglet.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to England for some time now, with both Manchester United and Manchester City rumoured destinations.

Conte on injuries ahead of NLD

Conte has said that he does not want to give too much away to Arsenal when asked about the current injury situation in his squad ahead of the North London Derby.

The Italian was speaking to the press at Hotspur Way on Thursday and refused to comment on specific injuries, with the fitness of Dejan Kulusevski, Hugo Lloris, Christian Romero and Ben Davies doubtful after the international break. However, the Italian remained tight-lipped on which players could be fit for the match, choosing to keep Arsenal guessing ahead of Saturday's early kick off.

Moura's Jesus warning

Tottenham forward Lucas Moura has been majorly impressed by compatriot Gabriel Jesus's performances following his excellent start to his Arsenal career. The two Brazilians are due to meet in Jesus' first North London Derby this weekend as Mikel Arteta's side aim to stay top of the Premier League table.

"The kid started to score and doesn't stop. First on the personal side, on the friendship side, I'm very happy for him. He is a very deserving boy, of great quality," Moura told Stats Perform, as cited by LiveScore. "He left a big club and went to Arsenal, and he's doing very well there. The whole team is doing very well. Arsenal has been playing very well. Without a doubt, it will be a very good match for the fans to watch.

"It's going to be a very interesting game and we have to prepare well. It's a direct fight, against a rival, so it's going to be a tough game. Even more so at their stadium. But I think we have the quality to get there and fight for the three points.

"It's the kind of match that every player likes to play, every fan likes to watch, full of Brazilians on the pitch, and we'll see what happens."
