Tottenham rebuild, focus on league recovery

Entities: Roberto De Zerbi · Tottenham Hotspur · Antonio Nusa · Savinho · Sandro Tonali

Overview

Tottenham Hotspur’s rebuilding programme under Roberto De Zerbi continues with a reported £265 million‑plus outlay. Early arrivals such as Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka have been joined by marquee signings Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes on £100 million deals each, while Dominic Solanke remains and Richarlison contributes. The club’s pursuit of Brazilian winger Savinho has stalled after Manchester City valued the player at £65 million, a fee Tottenham is not prepared to meet in full. Savinho continues training with City while negotiations remain at an impasse. After finishing 17th for a second straight season — despite winning the 2025 Europa League — Tottenham avoided relegation on the final day of 2025‑26 but will miss European competition in 2026‑27. The focus has shifted to climbing the Premier League table. Chairman Daniel Levy’s departure sparked a managerial carousel: Brentford boss Thomas Frank was appointed, replaced by interim Igor Tudor in February, and then Roberto De Zerbi took charge ahead of the new season, securing safety with a win over Everton. Defensive frailties prompted a summer overhaul that added the previously mentioned signings along with Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel, aiming to improve domestic results. In late July 2026 De Zerbi confirmed that the transfer window is still open. The club has already spent more than £237 million on new arrivals—recouping roughly £70 million from departures—and rejected a £38 million bid for midfielder Lucas Bergvall, with a higher £45 million offer reportedly on the table. Further signings are expected to complete the attacking unit as the squad copes with injuries to Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski. De Zerbi urged any unhappy players to consider leaving, stressing motivation and pride ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.
