Roberto De Zerbi is expected to have a key role in helping determine what transfers Tottenham make this summer.
Tottenham threw the kitchen sink at De Zerbi to bring him in now, and look to have granted him a key role in the signings the club will make.
Who should be Roberto De Zerbi’s first Tottenham signing?
However, the Italian manager’s first task is to keep the North London club in the Premier League, but that looks easier said than done.
If the 46-year-old can manage to keep Spurs up, he could be set for an exciting summer transfer window, with real control over who is signed.
Roberto De Zerbi to be given power over Tottenham transfers
Roberto De Zerbi will be given serious power over Tottenham Hotspur transfers this summer, according to Michael Bridge.
Right now, the Lilywhites are also looking to appoint a new sporting director, who is set to work alongside the former Brighton boss.
It will be an interesting dynamic between De Zerbi and the next sporting director, but it seems the Spurs manager will be handed real power.
“But look, Johan Lange and his team will identify the players. But I’m getting the feeling that Roberto De Zerbi is going to have a much more hands-on role than a more traditional head coach,” Bridge told Sky Sports.
🔮 How many points will Roberto De Zerbi take from his first five matches at Spurs?
“It will be interesting to see who the new sporting director will be, because I like what I’m hearing already with Roberto De Zerbi and in terms of what he might be wanting to bring in next season.”
Harry Wilson is a key target for Roberto De Zerbi, with the Italian manager ready to bolster his attacking options in the summer.
Meanwhile, Bart Verburggen is a key replacement for Guglielmo Vicario, with the new boss looking to replace Spurs’ current keeper.
Tottenham need a big summer of change in the transfer window, as it is clear the squad cannot continue in its current form following another dismal campaign.
