Conte has Spurs in contention for a top-four finish this season and the signs of progression under the Italian manager have been obvious to see so far.
We’ve looked into the nine players that they currently have out on loan and assessed how well they have done in 2022-23 so far.
Harry Winks
Often used as a utility player at Spurs, Winks joined up with Serie A side Sampdoria on a loan deal until the end of the season, which has the option to be made permanent at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old is still waiting on his Serie A debut though as an ankle injury has kept him out of action for the entire season so far. He is now back in light training, but reports have claimed that his loan move could be cut short.
Sergio Reguilon
The experienced Ivan Perisic took Reguilon’s spot in the first team and so he was sent on loan to Atletico Madrid until the end of the season.
Reguilon has been sidelined for most of the season so far after recovering from a groin injury in the summer. He has only made one competitive appearance for Atletico so far. However, he did feature in a recent club friendly and provided two assists in a 4-2 victory.
Tanguy Ndombele
Ndombele has played a supporting role for Napoli this season who are currently one of the most in-form teams in Europe. He has featured in 18 matches this season, but only started in eight fixtures.
Former Napoli man Paolo Di Canio told Mattino in September: “I will just say if Spalletti performs a miracle with Ndombele, I’ll take my hat off to him and give him my compliments.
“This lad is really not accustomed to sacrificing himself for the team with work when he’s off the ball. I don’t expect Spalletti to get Ndombele to walk on water, but if he at least manages to get him swimming, it’d be an extraordinary success.”

Giovani Lo Celso
Lo Celso, unfortunately, missed out on Argentina’s World Cup squad due to an injury he sustained while on loan with Villarreal. The playmaker had also spent the second half of last season on loan with the Spanish club.
The 26-year-old was a regular starter for Villarreal but has not featured since picking up a hamstring injury against Athletic Bilbao in late October.
Destiny Udogie
Udogie has been a regular for Udinese this season as he has started in 11 of their 15 league matches this season. The wing-back has scored two goals and got an assist to his name so far this year.
As Udinese have typically lined up in a 3-5-2 formation this season, Udogie’s role on the left-hand side is similar to the position he would take up at Spurs with Conte.

Joe Rodon
Rodon will be linking up with Rennes again after featuring at the World Cup for Wales. Since making his £11million move from Swansea in 2020, Rodon’s opportunities at Spurs had been fairly limited.
He has had the chance to play more regular first-team football this season with Rennes in Ligue 1. The Welsh defender has started in 14 matches this season and has scored one goal in that time.
Dane Scarlett
Scarlett has continued his development with a loan move to Portsmouth in League One. The forward has scored five goals in 22 appearances across all competitions.
Portsmouth manager Danny Cowley told Portsmouth News: “Dane is 18, but he trained last week and he looked frightening. Some of his one v one play and finishing, wow. He has these days where you see this outstanding potential he possesses.
“He’s just a young player who is still trying to learn about himself, learn about his game and learn about his position and how to perform consistently week in, week out.”

Troy Parrott
Parrott has shown real glimpses of quality in the Championship this season for Preston North End, but he has been out with an injury since early October.
The Irish forward has linked the play well when he has featured, but he has had a somewhat frustrating time in front of goal. In 13 Championship appearances, he has only scored one goal at the time of writing.
Alfie Whiteman
Whiteman is now back training with Spurs after enjoying his second loan spell with Swedish club Degerfors IF. The goalkeeper featured in 21 league matches this season and kept two clean sheets.
The goalkeeper has come off the bench in both mid-season friendlies Spurs have had so far, replacing fellow shot-stopper Brandon Austin.
