Despite Tottenham Hotspur’s challenging start to the season, currently sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, the club appears unlikely to part ways with Roberto De Zerbi during the upcoming break. Instead, the focus is reportedly shifting towards appointing a new senior executive or sporting official to support the squad’s progression.
On the injury front, there is encouraging news as Dejan Kulusevski edges closer to returning from a prolonged knee injury. This development comes as a welcome boost to Spurs’ attacking options, which have struggled to find consistent goal-scoring form this season.
The pursuit of defensive reinforcements is ongoing, although Tottenham face new challenges in securing Giorgio Scalvini. The Atalanta defender recently committed his future to the Serie A club by signing a contract extension until 2031, complicating Spurs’ hopes despite continued Premier League interest.
Player Contracts and Transfer Speculation
Midfield prospect Lucas Bergvall remains tight-lipped regarding the details of his new contract with Tottenham, declining to confirm whether it includes a release clause. Nevertheless, Bergvall expressed his satisfaction with the arrangement after a summer filled with transfer rumors.
Meanwhile, scrutiny has fallen on goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, whose performances have been deemed underwhelming compared to last season. His form during Tottenham’s winless run has raised concerns among supporters and analysts alike.
In the transfer market, Tottenham have made enquiries about Igor Matanovic, the six-goal Croatian striker currently playing for Freiburg, as De Zerbi seeks to bolster his attacking options. However, a mid-season move appears complicated and unlikely to materialize in January.
Amid pressure on De Zerbi following the club’s lackluster start, speculation has emerged about a potential managerial change. Former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has publicly indicated openness to returning, is being discussed as an ideal candidate to take over if the club decides to shift direction.
Additionally, Tottenham may revive their interest in Morgan Gibbs-White, the Nottingham Forest midfielder reportedly considering a new challenge. Spurs’ participation in the Champions League could be a decisive factor in attracting the player.
