Overview
- Vinai Venkatesham publicly backed manager Roberto De Zerbi at a Fan Advisory Board meeting on Thursday after Tottenham failed to win any of their first five Premier League matches.
- The club is bottom of the league and has created clear scoring chances in recent games but repeatedly failed to convert those opportunities into goals.
- Tottenham carried out a major summer overhaul with about 10 arrivals and more than £380m spent on signings while generating roughly £150m from player sales, including Luka Vuskovic to Brighton.
- Majority owners the Lewis family provided a £120m capital injection last month and the club says long-running losses and league financial rules are constraining future spending decisions.
- The club has made significant changes to its medical, physical preparation and performance departments and upgraded training facilities as it monitors results to judge whether further action is needed.
