Spurs have been one of the more active Premier League clubs this summer, bringing in six new faces before the start of pre-season as the club aim to right the wrongs of the last two campaigns.
Martin Dubravka, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson have arrived in north London on free transfers, while Jan Paul van Hecke has joined from Brighton in a £52million deal to bolster Tottenham’s defence.
However, amid links to the likes of Eli Junior Kroupi, Savinho and Pedro Neto and Rafael Leao, De Zerbi has confirmed Spurs will now turn attentions to bolstering their attack in the hope of at least two more additions.
“Yes, the target now is to complete the attacking positions,” the Italian said at a news conference.
“We want the first target, the first level, because anyway we are already important players, but I think to start the new project we need another couple of important players, for sure.”
While Spurs are open for more arrivals, Lucas Bergvall could be heading through the exit door as he seeks regular game time in is preferred midfield role next season.
Newcastle and Nottingham Forest have both seen bids for the Sweden international rejected but De Zerbi has made it clear that he will not block a move if a deal can be agreed.
“Listen, I was very clear at the start of my time in Tottenham. I said, who doesn't want to stay in Tottenham? Who is not happy, is not proud to stay here, has to leave,” De Zerbi added.
“I want the players to be proud and happy to stay here, to go on the pitch in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with big motivation. Because now in football, if you think also in the World Cup, the motivation makes the difference. The motivation is to be happy to stay in one team.
“I have not spoken with Lucas yet. I will in the next days and we will make the best decision for the club, for Lucas, for me, for every one of us, without problems, Lucas is a big, big talent.
“There will be a big competition to play because at the end, I think we will be two players for each position. If he wants to stay, I will be happy. Otherwise, we have to find a new solution with Johan Lange, with Vinai.
