Conte is tasked with immediately improving a team that have scored just nine goals in 10 league games so far.
But according to the report, the former Inter Milan coach has now been assured by Spurs that the squad will be boosted in the January transfer window and the Italian has earmarked Vlahovic and Kessie as two key signings he wants.
The report also claims that Dutch centre-back Stefan de Vrij, who Conte managed at Inter and Lazio right-back Manuel Lazzari, are also on Spurs’ shortlist ahead of the January window.
Vlahovic has been one of Serie A’s leading strikers for Fiorentina with 29 goals in his last 48 league appearances.
