Reported by Sky Sports Italia, Conte had previously been a target for Spurs before appointing Nuno as coach earlier this season.
However, the club CEO Daniel Levy's negotiations with Conte did not reach an agreement regarding the transfer budget.
Now, it is believed Levy will comply with Conte's request and is ready to support the 52-year-old coach in the transfer market in building a competitive team.
Conte becomes Spurs' fourth permanent coach in three years after Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo.
Spurs are now in eighth place in the English Premier League standings with a collection of 15 points. The Lilywhites have lost five of their last seven league games.
