Speaking on Last Word On Spurs, Jacobs revealed: “All of this does feel like a fresh start, and now Tottenham have to do two things. One, put their money where their mouth is, which has happened already with some shrewd signings.
“Two, start building a squad that’s capable of challenging at the top half of the table and trying to get one of those Champions League spots.
“Make no mistake, my expectation is that Roberto De Zerbi will have one aim. I don’t think he’ll put the pressure on the players of saying it outright, but privately, my information is that Roberto De Zerbi feels Spurs should be qualifying for the Champions League next season.

“Big ask, ambitious aim, never something, as I say, that you want to kind of say before a ball is kicked because it puts pressure on a group that were fighting relegation.
“But De Zerbi is under the impression that he’s going to be further backed in the market and that this squad is good enough to do much, much better things. If they can finally get that right, this project can move forward.”
Today is the first day of the transfer window, and Spurs have already made real progress in terms of bolstering De Zerbi’s options for next season.
With no European football and nine Premier League teams competing in the UEFA competitions, Spurs should sense this as a chance to finally enjoy a successful league campaign.
