Conte: I gave my opinion, Now It's up to the club to pick Jan targets

Conte has assessed the skills of his team and stated recruiting choices could be determined by others at the club.

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's

semi-final second leg trip to Chelsea, Conte said:

"First of all we have spoken about the situation. It was a good meeting because the owner and (Fabio) Paratici, they started together this season.

"I came in the middle. For sure, they know the situation better than me. It was a good meeting to tell them my thoughts after the two months I spent in Tottenham.

"What I want? I spoke with the club and I have my thoughts about the situation and I think the most important thing is the club must decide the best way to go.

"I don't have expectations. I am a coach and I know that we have to solve many problems. For me, the best possible way is to get the most out of my players and working with squad.

"That is the only way I can improve the situation and the squad. The club knows very well our situation and have to take the best decision.

"I don't know [about other clubs' transfer plans for January]. I have said to the club my vision and what I have found here. After this the club has to decide the best way the club has to go. I'm a coach and I teach football and try to improve players and the level of this squad.

"Then we'll see the decision of the club, if there is the possibility [to improve] or not. For me, it is important to be honest with the club about my vision, expectation and what I have found and how we can improve."

Tottenham have reportedly rebuffed a £15 million proposal from Ajax for

Steven Bergwijn

, with negotiations between the two clubs ongoing, although Conte insists he is still banking on the Dutchman. 

Bergwijn has only played 310 minutes in the

this season, but he excelled in Spurs' 2-1 Carabao Cup triumph over West Ham last month, netting the opening goal and providing an assist for Lucas Moura's winner.

Conte said:

"Honestly Bergwijn, he knows very well what I think about him. I consider him as a player who can play all three (attacking) roles, as a nine and as a 10. For sure, in my period at Tottenham he was injured, but I showed when he's in a good physical condition, he has the chance to show he is a good player.

"For sure, Bergwijn is a Tottenham player and he is very close to coming back, and after the Chelsea game he can start training with us. I count on him.

"He is a player with different characteristics to Sonny (Heung-Min Son), Lucas (Moura) and Harry (Kane). He's very good one-v-one, he's a creative player that we don't have in our squad."
