And it now appears as though Conte will be announced as Tottenham's next manager very soon.
The former Chelsea boss led Inter to the Serie A title last season, breaking Juventus' long run of dominance in Italy.
But financial uncertainty at the club led to Conte's departure and he appears to have had his head turned by the prospect of helping Tottenham climb back up the table.
He arrives at a club who are in need of big changes though after a disastrous campaign and the biggest question marks hangs over Harry Kane's future.
The England international has hinted that he would be interested in leaving Tottenham to challenge for trophies on a regular basis.
And Allen, who played over 100 games for Tottenham in the 1980s, believes Kane's future would have been the first thing Conte spoke with Levy about.

“Conte needs to know whether he’s going to have his centre-forward and goalscorer for the start of the next campaign.
