Tottenham Hotspur aims overhaul under De Zerbi as former player Sandro calls for early transfers

Roberto De Zerbi was appointed late in the 2025‑26 season and guided Tottenham Hotspur to Premier League survival, preserving an estimated £250 million in revenue. Former Spurs midfielder Sandro says the club must back the Italian manager as Arsenal did with Mikel Arteta, and cautions that striker Richarlison and defender Romero could depart this summer. He also mentioned potential targets such as winger Savinho and other attacking options.

Sandro added that the recent relegation battle provides a chance for a reset. He urged the hierarchy to act earlier in the transfer window, avoid the last‑minute signings that hindered the previous campaign, and learn from missed opportunities like the aborted purchase of Eberechi Eze. “It was important for everybody to feel the pain of being down there,” he told Flash Score, emphasizing the need for a thoughtful rebuild.
