The revolution at Tottenham has already begun with Roberto De Zerbi at the helm, and the early signs are promising for Spurs fans. After a dramatic season that secured Premier League survival on the final day, the Italian coach now faces the task of rebuilding the squad and restoring stability to a club that has been through difficult times.
Roberto De Zerbi has shown unwavering confidence in maintaining the team from the outset, even when West Ham secured a late victory over Everton and young Xavi Simons was sidelined with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. His calmness during these crucial weeks has earned him the opportunity to lead a deep reconstruction.
The strategy is already in motion. The signing of Andrew Robertson has been confirmed, and the deal for Marcos Senesi is expected to be finalized soon, once his contract with Bournemouth expires. Interest in Savinho, a winger from Manchester City, remains strong, especially after Pep Guardiola’s refusal to release the Brazilian last season. The player is very excited about the prospect of moving to London, feeling he has not had enough opportunities to showcase his full potential in Manchester.
Tottenham has been too vulnerable in the last two seasons, and it is no surprise that the club’s first signings aim to strengthen the defense. In addition to Robertson and Senesi, the club is negotiating the signing of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, after an initial offer was rejected. Despite the firm stance of the Seagulls, the fact that Van Hecke has only one year left on his contract could work in Spurs’ favor. De Zerbi maintains a strong connection with several players he brought from Brighton, whom he refers to as “his children,” which could facilitate this deal.
As reinforcements arrive, some players are expected to leave. Radu Dragusin is seeking more minutes in the first team and, with no European competition for Tottenham, his departure this summer is a realistic possibility, with interest particularly emerging from Italy. As for captain Cristian Romero, his presence in the last home game raised doubts and controversies that did not help during such a critical phase of the season. Many believe this could be the moment for the Argentine to seek a change of scenery if a suitable offer arises.
Roberto De Zerbi understands “100 percent” the fans’ outrage over Romero’s possible absence in the final home match. The defender is one of the most combative players in the squad, known for his aggression and commitment, traits that are rare among the Spurs. However, his history of injuries and red cards raises questions about his future, and the extension of his contract last season surprised many.
Some believe that Romero is more focused on his international aspirations with Argentina than on Tottenham, something he denies, having been a passionate spectator in the matches against Leeds and Everton.
De Zerbi did not hold back his praise for Micky van de Ven, whom he considers the best left-back in the Premier League. The Dutchman was frustrated before the arrival of the Italian coach, but he has grown in the last two months under his guidance. With three years left on his contract, only an irresistible offer should pry him away from the Spurs.
One of the biggest dilemmas facing the Italian manager revolves around Luka Vuskovic, the young Croatian who has yet to play a single official minute for Tottenham but is already attracting interest from top European clubs. After an impressive season on loan at Hamburg, where he scored six goals, many believe he is ready to join the first team, although some argue that another loan could be beneficial for his development. The absence of European competition may influence this decision.
Roberto De Zerbi is building a revamped Tottenham, focused on establishing a solid defense and investing in promising young talents. The patience of the fans will be crucial, but the early moves suggest that the future could be brighter for the Spurs under the Italian coach’s leadership. The Premier League will be watching closely.
