Overview
- Tottenham have one point from their opening three Premier League games and remain without a goal, a start that has intensified scrutiny of results on and off the pitch.
- Citing Friday's Transfer Insider reporting, club sources say the board has no immediate plans to sack Roberto De Zerbi and is prepared to support him while new players settle.
- The club spent around £314 million in the summer and gave De Zerbi broad control over recruitment, a shift that centralises transfer decisions under the manager.
- Pundits led by Alex Crook have publicly criticised De Zerbi's transfer record and warned that expensive signings so far have not produced value on the field.
- Tottenham's next home match against Everton is the nearest opportunity to change momentum and failure to improve before the second international break could sharply increase pressure on De Zerbi.
