Tottenham Hotspur's manager Roberto De Zerbi has justified the club's £300m summer spending spree, stating that the players must be ready for the competition within the squad. As of the final 2025 table, Tottenham Hotspur finished 18th in Premier League, with 30 points, 7 wins, 9 draws, and 16 losses from 32 games, and a recent form of LLDLL.
What happened?
The club has broken its transfer record under De Zerbi, with big signings like Sandro Tonali and Jan Paul van Hecke.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
De Zerbi believes that the squad needs to be strengthened to compete for the top of the table, and that 11 or 15 players are not enough.
What comes next?
Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on an £85m deal for Brazilian winger Savinho and are also set to sign his Manchester City teammate Omar Marmoush. The team's goal difference is currently -11, with 40 goals scored and 51 conceded. De Zerbi's message to the players is clear: if they are unhappy with the competition, they can leave. With the new season approaching, Tottenham Hotspur will look to improve their league standing, currently 40 points behind leaders Arsenal. The team's recent form and transfer activity will be crucial in determining their success in the upcoming season.
