AliousRoberto De Zerbi has signed a five-year contract at Tottenham and will play a major role in reshaping the squad, with significant influence over recruitment and overall strategy.
The new Spurs manager has already outlined his preference for a possession-based, attacking style of play, which could lead to notable changes within the squad during the upcoming transfer window. One player strongly linked with a move is a left-back the Italian coach greatly admires.
Recent reports suggest Tottenham are targeting Pervis Estupiñán, who has struggled to make a major impact in Serie A since his move from Brighton to AC Milan last summer.
Estupiñán previously worked under De Zerbi at Brighton & Hove Albion, and the manager’s arrival in north London is believed to be influencing the club’s interest in the Ecuadorian defender. De Zerbi had high praise for him during their time together, even suggesting he has the potential to become one of the best left-backs in the world.
Speaking in 2023, De Zerbi highlighted Estupiñán’s versatility and intelligence, noting his ability to contribute both defensively and in advanced attacking positions. He also emphasized that improving his first touch and passing consistency could elevate him to elite status.
Meanwhile, questions remain over the future of Destiny Udogie at Tottenham. The full-back has endured another injury-disrupted campaign, which has hindered his progress.
Interest is already building from Juventus, who are keen to bring the 23-year-old back to Italy. Should Spurs move for a new left-back this summer, the club could face a difficult decision if a strong offer arrives for the former Udinese defender.
