Roberto De Zerbi has made an exciting prediction about what Tottenham Hotspur may be about to do in the transfer market.
Tottenham have already bought six players through the door for a combined £237m, with all the club’s new signings being Premier League-proven players.
However, there has been a bit of a lull in terms of new signings over the last few weeks, with almost a month having passed since the club’s last addition, Sandro Tonali.
That may be about to change soon if the Spurs head coach’s latest assertion is to be believed.
Roberto De Zerbi says Tottenham are only ’60 per cent’ done in the transfer market
The Tottenham boss has already said that he wants the club to sign their top attacking targets, rather than settling for backup options.
De Zerbi has now reiterated that, describing himself as a ‘shark’ who is fixated on his top targets, and making an exciting prediction regarding what is expected over the coming weeks.
The Italian told Football.London: “In the transfer market, when I want one player, I become like a shark, No chance to say no! The transfer market, it’s not finished for sure, but we completed 60 per cent of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bomba!”
The Italian confirmed the new arrival would be an attacker and, when asked whether the deal was close, he responded: “I hope, but it’s not finished for sure.”
De Zerbi says Spurs’ transfer targets were finalised even before he took the job
The 46-year-old has made it clear that none of the players the club have signed or are pursuing right now are names that recently made it onto their wishlist.
He revealed that the targets were finalised in his conversations with the club’s hierarchy even before he took the job at the start of April.
De Zerbi added: “A lot of players you are watching now on the pitch started from mid-March. The plan was clear at the beginning. The big problem was to stay up and play in the Premier League again.”
