Antonio Conte warned his Tottenham players on the eve of the new season that it is not his job to keep them happy but the reverse, it is their job to impress him.
Conte has boosted competition within his squad with six summer recruits, and Spurs are still in the transfer market for what the Italian called 'common sense signings'.
Nicolo Zaniolo of Roma is a midfielder in their sights and Conte would like to bring in another central defender before the window closes at the end of this month.
'They have to make me happy,' said the Italian, smiling but deadly serious.
