Newly appointed Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly wasted no time in making his intentions clear, with sources suggesting the Italian coach has identified five key players he wants to leave the club following his first training session.
The decisive move signals De Zerbi’s determination to reshape the squad quickly as he begins a new era in North London. Known for his demanding tactical approach and high standards, the former Brighton boss is believed to be focused on building a team capable of executing his possession-based, high-intensity style of play.
According to early reports, the manager was unimpressed with certain performances and attitudes during his initial assessment of the squad. As a result, he has urged club executives to consider immediate changes, potentially opening the door for departures in the upcoming transfer window.
While the identities of the five players have not yet been officially confirmed, the message from De Zerbi appears clear: no one is guaranteed a place, and every member of the squad must meet his expectations.
The development comes at a critical time for Tottenham, who are looking to stabilize results and restore confidence among supporters after a challenging period. A swift squad overhaul could be the first step in De Zerbi’s plan to rebuild competitiveness and reestablish a winning culture at the club.
More updates are expected as the situation unfolds and the club clarifies its transfer strategy.
