I don't think we need a creative midfield as much as I think we need a deep lying midfielder that can control the tempo.
In a 343 formation...a 8 is more important than a 10 in the midfield pivots.
I still can't make my mind up what Kessie is. If he is to be the midfield partner for Skipp or Hojbjerg.
Creative vs Control midfield

Dumfries and Lamptey
If you get these two you'd be back in business
Contes a great manager. He'll sell Kane and make you a much better outfit
He may even sell Son especially if Kanes value plummets and Levy doesn't free up enough funds

Lamptey would be a great buy assuming his injuries are behind him. I can't see a world where we sell Son, though. He just signed a big new contract, everyone loves him, sponsor money.. though I take your point. We need to trust in Conte and let him do what he wants.

Selling Son would be the blunder of the century!
He's the best player Tottenham have by a country mile.

Need better wing backs.
Think that’s where the chances are made in that system.

Our wing backs are fine

Have needed a playmaker since Eriksen left, and probably even earlier because the last 6 months he wasn't great, our recruitment system is shocking

Really? Couldn’t improve?
Not sure Emerson going forward is much of a threat currently. Good defender - could be in the 3 imo
Reggie still needs to learn the position too - think he said so himself

Not really unless we are willing to spend best part of £100m on the worlds best

I think you're looking at it in a very 'Fifa' gameplay kind of way, both on this article and on others you've posted (no offence meant!).
We often pigeon hole players into 6's, 8's, 10's etc. I don't thin Conte will be looking at it this way. He'll be looking for the right characters, someone who he sees that he can make better, ala Moses. Take a look at his Chelsea 16/17 winning team and I doubt you'll be able to pigeon hole many players into typical 'Fifa' positions, and if you are, they certainly all wouldn't be near the best in the world in that position.
