Tottenham are hoping to get back to their best in the Premier League under Roberto De Zerbi.
Surprisingly, Tottenham’s hierarchy have walked the talk this summer and backed their manager in the summer transfer window. The Lewis family faced their fair share of criticism when the Lilywhites were struggling last season, but they have splashed the cash in the transfer window and signed some top-quality players who could make an instant impact at N17 in the coming months.
The North Londoners have shown immense ambition to right the wrongs of last season by spending almost £332m on eight new players this summer. They have managed to bolster their defence, midfield, and attack by landing players who fit Roberto de Zerbi’s system at N17. And it is fair to say that the Lewis family have done everything they can to kickstart a new era at Hotspur Way as the club aims to compete at the top end of the Premier League table this season.
The onus now falls on Roberto De Zerbi to bring the best out of his players as the Lilywhites hope to go toe-to-toe with their rivals. So far, the Italian tactician has struggled to find his strongest starting eleven in the opening two league matches. And that is exactly why Spurs sit at the bottom of the Premier League table after remaining winless in their opening two games. It is crucial that the North Londoners start building momentum and put together a strong run before it becomes too late to steady the ship at N17.
Tottenham have backed Roberto De Zerbi this summer
Tottenham have lost both of their games in the new Premier League season, leaving the club at the bottom of the league table. However, it is only a matter of time before the new players find their feet at N17 and start showing their worth on the big stage week in, week out. Despite being under immense pressure from the fans, the club’s hierarchy have done well to back Roberto de Zerbi in the market by signing players who are ready to make their mark at Hotspur Way in the coming months.
Now, Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham has spoken about the club’s summer rebuild as we slowly approach deadline day. Addressing the fans in the matchday programme (via Tottenham Hotspur), Venkatesham said,
“We have strengthened our men’s squad with a clear focus on the quality, character and physical robustness needed to achieve our aims. We have attracted the names we wanted to attract, adding players with proven Premier League experience alongside talent we believe can continue to develop and improve with us.”
It is fair to suggest that Spurs are in a much better position right now compared to where they were towards the end of last season. The Lilywhites have surely improved by landing players who could instantly hit the ground running at N17 under Roberto de Zerbi. They have signed players who bring immense quality, are physically ready to compete in the Premier League, and have the high ceiling needed to succeed at Hotspur Way in the coming years. So, it is clear that the North Londoners are relying on De Zerbi to bring the best out of his squad and help the club compete at the top end of the league table.
There is a strong chance that Spurs will still bring in more players before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday. Recent reports have linked the Lilywhites with Everton star Iliman Ndiaye. Both clubs have agreed a deal in principle, with the Senegal international also agreeing personal terms with the North Londoners. Will we see the club add more firepower to the attack in the coming hours? Only time will tell.
