Tottenham invests heavily in new signings and pre-season to transform team under Roberto de Zerbi's leadership.

New manager Roberto de Zerbi has taken the reins at Tottenham, aiming for a fresh start after back-to-back 17th-place finishes. The club’s summer spending spree reflects this ambitious new direction, highlighted by signing midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85m and bringing in Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for £100m.

In talks over a new contract, defender Micky van de Ven believes the team is on the cusp of improvement. He says De Zerbi will bring more offensive football to the club, following three managers and many changes in only one season under Thomas Frank.

$237m record spend indicates Spurs are serious about playing better and enjoying their football again.
