Tottenham Hotspur struggles amid poor start and transfers

Overview

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026-27 Premier League campaign has deteriorated into the worst start in the club’s history. After five matches, the team remains winless and sits at the bottom of the table with only two points. Despite summer investments totaling approximately £394 million—including signings such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Savinho—the squad continues to struggle with clinical finishing.

To address offensive deficiencies, the club is evaluating several January targets. Monitoring includes Benfica forward Vangelis Pavlidis, and reports indicate both Tottenham and Arsenal previously made “substantial, triple-figure offers” for Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz. While the club has been linked to Villarreal’s Ilias Akhomach and Real Sociedad’s Alex Remiro, the hierarchy reportedly intends to prioritize “getting value for money from cost-effective targets instead.” Defensively, the club is looking at right-back options like Chelsea’s Malo Gusto and remains interested in Bayern Munich’s Kim Min-jae.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi is facing intensifying pressure due to the winless start. Following his success in preventing relegation last season, the current lack of results has led to speculation regarding his future. Former player Alan Shearer suggested De Zerbi could face dismissal if the team suffers a heavy defeat against Manchester United. Consequently, reports have emerged linking Arne Slot as a potential successor, with analysts suggesting his attacking style might better suit the squad.
