A Record-Breaking Deal

The club has broken its own transfer record with the signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United, a deal that could rise to a staggering £100m. This move was followed by the £85m acquisition of Mateus Fernandes from relegated West Ham United, and the £52m capture of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The arrivals of Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson, and Marcos Senesi on free transfers have also strengthened the squad, while the departures of Will Lankshear and Luka Vuskovic have raised some concerns among fans.

A Clear Vision for the Team

De Zerbi has emphasized that he has a clear understanding of the club’s vision and plan, which he has been working on since joining the team in April. He has spent a considerable amount of time studying the club’s history, its values, and its goals, and he believes that he has a good grasp of what the team needs to achieve.

‘I feel very good because we are working well. I think we are building a very good team, with some very important new players, and we are starting the project in another part of the history of the club,’ De Zerbi explained in an interview with SpursPlay.

He went on to say, ‘Now we are inside (the project), we are excited with the idea to build a very strong team. Now we have to finish as it is not finished yet, our transfer market, in and out, but at the moment I am very happy, very proud and very positive.’

De Zerbi’s vision for the team is centered around building a ‘soul’ that is driven by passion, values, and a strong sense of identity. He believes that football is not just about the game itself, but also about the lives of the players and the values they represent.

‘Football now is not just on the pitch, it’s not just with the ball, it is before in the private life, it is how many hours during the day you think you are doing your job and they have to be happy and proud to stay in Tottenham,’ De Zerbi emphasized.

A New Era for Tottenham?

With a new-look squad and a clear vision for the team, De Zerbi is optimistic about Tottenham’s chances of success in the upcoming season. He believes that the team has the potential to compete for the top of the Premier League, and he is excited to see how the team will perform.

‘I think Tottenham deserve to compete for the top of the Premier League,’ De Zerbi said. ‘I know very well the Premier League is very tough, but if you have a good motivation inside of the players, a good organisation on the pitch and outside of the pitch, I think you work well and at the end you reach your target.’
