Tottenham must stay in the Premier League to attract top talents in the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in a difficult position as they remain within touching distance of relegation from the Premier League this season. The Lilywhites have struggled for consistency throughout the campaign amid managerial changes.
Things have improved under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who has overseen two wins, two draws and a defeat in five games. The hopes are pinned on the 46-year-old to help the North Londoners avoid the drop.
Many fans will point to the ongoing injury crisis as a major factor behind the club’s downfall this season. Indeed, it has played a significant role in affecting the rhythm and consistency of the performance levels on the pitch. However, the problems lie far beyond that. The poor transfer decisions made by the hierarchy for several years have contributed massively to Spurs’ decline.
Football finance expert claims Tottenham will invest substantially if they remain in the Premier League
Tottenham’s survival hopes have grown in recent weeks following an upturn in fortunes. De Zerbi has quickly instilled a fighting spirit within the squad and helped the players rediscover their best form. The next two Premier League fixtures will have a big say on the future direction of the North London club.
Relegation would be catastrophic for Spurs, especially financially, leading to a potential mass exodus of players. However, Stefan Borson, football finance expert, claims Tottenham are planning to spend “big” on new signings this summer if they avoid the unthinkable drop to the Championship.
“Spurs will invest substantially if they do stay up. I would think this summer you will see a marked difference from the way that they’ve dealt with things before. They will spend more money on higher wages and more money in transfer fees,” Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider.
De Zerbi set to have big say on Tottenham’s summer transfers
Having signed a lucrative five-year deal in March, De Zerbi is expected to have a big say on the club’s summer transfers and potential squad rebuild. The Italian has to be in sync with whoever becomes the next sporting director to bring in players that add immediate as well as long-term value to the squad.
Tottenham’s ownership have to pump in substantial funds to try and turn things around and deliver a squad that can go forward. It is ridiculous to even think that this squad won the Europa League just 12 months ago and now finds itself battling relegation. This demonstrates the level of mismanagement that has happened from top to bottom, and our fans are right to protest against ENIC.
Spurs have several areas to address on the pitch in the summer. A new goalkeeper is an absolute must, with Guglielmo Vicario potentially off to Inter Milan. A ruthless goalscorer and a controlling central midfielder has to be on the club’s agenda as well, along with a central defender amid Cristian Romero’s exit links.
