Tottenham charts summer rebuild under De Zerbi with target signings

Roberto De Zerbi, appointed on 31 March, steadied Tottenham after a relegation‑battle season and now oversees the club’s summer rebuilding plan. The Italian coach and the board aim to add experienced and young players to boost physicality and consistency.

Potential incoming players include free‑transfer defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, Brighton centre‑back Jan Paul van Hecke – reportedly valued at about €80 million – and a possible replacement for departing captain Cristian Romero. Other targets are forward Savinho from Manchester City (estimated €70 million), Croatian prospect Luka Vuskovic, and midfielder Hayden Hackney of Middlesbrough. The club’s strategy also reflects recent injury setbacks, such as Xavi Simons’ ACL tear, and a late‑season win that helped avoid a Championship drop.
