Tottenham Hotspur face a big test at home against Leeds United. After a tough win over Aston Villa, Roberto De Zerbi will need his team to stay sharp if they want to keep their winning run going. This article looks at three key things De Zerbi has to do to secure all three points against Leeds on Monday night.

Tottenham Hotspur will look to continue their good form under Roberto De Zerbi when they face Leeds United in one of their final home games of the Premier League season. Spurs are currently just one point above the relegation zone, which makes Monday night’s match even more important as they try to move further away from danger.

No matter what happens in West Ham’s game against Arsenal on Sunday evening, Tottenham know they must take advantage of playing at home and return to winning ways in front of their fans.

Results have started to improve under De Zerbi in recent weeks, though, and after winning back-to-back league matches for the first time this season, Spurs will head into the Leeds clash with growing confidence.

Here are three things De Zerbi has to do to beat Leeds…

Roberto De Zerbi should maintain Tottenham’s high-pressing style

The plan for beating Leeds United was already clear in Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa. From the start of the match, Spurs played with high energy, pressed high up the pitch, and made it difficult for Villa to play out from the back. That aggressive approach helped Spurs stay in control for long periods and forced Villa into mistakes in dangerous areas.

A big reason why the press worked so well was the energy in midfield, especially from Conor Gallagher. The midfielder covered a lot of ground, pressed Villa’s defenders constantly, and helped the Lilywhites win the ball back quickly whenever possession was lost. His intensity also helped set the tone for the rest of the team, as Tottenham continued to play with confidence and aggression throughout the game.

However, Spurs will need to reach that same level again against an in-form Leeds United side. Leeds are unbeaten in their last six league matches, picking up three wins and three draws during that run. Their recent 3-1 win over Burnley also showed how dangerous they can be when they play with confidence and momentum.

That is why Tottenham must start the game strongly and keep pressing with intensity from the first whistle. Leeds on the other hand, like to play with speed and energy, but they can struggle when teams press them high and give them little time on the ball. If Spurs keep the same aggression and work rate they showed against Villa, they can force mistakes and give themselves a strong chance of taking all three points.

De Zerbi should rely on Tottenham’s wide players

Another important part of Tottenham’s game against Leeds United could be the use of their wide players. With Leeds likely to keep things tight in central areas, Spurs may find more joy attacking from the wings, where players like Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani can use their pace and movement to create problems.

That was something Tottenham did well aganist Villa. Tel was dangerous on the left side throughout the match, using his speed and crossing ability to create chances for his teammates. On the other wing, Kolo Muani stretched Villa’s defence with his direct running and dribbling, which helped Spurs push the opposition deeper into their own half.

Their movement out wide also gave Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie more space to join attacks from full-back. As Villa focused on stopping Tel and Kolo Muani, gaps started to appear in other areas of the pitch, allowing Tottenham to move the ball forward with more freedom and create better attacking positions.

A similar approach could work well against Leeds on Monday. If Spurs can move the ball quickly to the wings and allow their wide players to attack defenders in one-on-one situations, they could create the openings needed to break Leeds down and secure another important result.

De Zerbi should slowly bring James Maddison back into the team

Tottenham fans could see the return of James Maddison against Leeds United, with the midfielder getting closer to full fitness after a long injury layoff from a serious knee problem picked up in pre-season. This could be the right moment for him to make a short appearance from the bench and take his first competitive minutes in a long time.

Because of how long he has been out, De Zerbi has managed his recovery carefully, keeping him in the squad but not rushing him back too soon. He knows Maddison is a very important player, but he also understands that he should not rush him back too quickly. Instead, he wants to slowly help him adjust again to the speed and demands of top-level games.

That is why a short 20-minute appearance near the end of the game would be a good idea, helping him slowly build sharpness and confidence. That return could also give the Lilywhites something extra in attack if the game becomes tight. With other creative players like Xavi Simons and Dejan Kulusevski still dealing with injuries, Maddison’s vision could offer a different option in the final stages of the match.

If he is brought back in this controlled way, it will not just help Spurs against Leeds, but also help him build fitness for the remaining games. Gradually getting him up to speed could be important as Tottenham look to finish the season strongly.

Mikey Moore continued his impressive loan spell with Rangers in the Old Firm derby against Celtic, although the Tottenham Hotspur youngster was fortunate to avoid a serious injury following a reckless challenge during the clash.

Tottenham Hotspur certainly have every reason to be proud of Mikey Moore’s loan spell this season with Scottish side Rangers.

Of course, it has not always been smooth sailing, as the teenager went 10 league games without a goal and also struggled for game time earlier in the season during Russell Martin’s tenure.

However, a resilient Moore held his own, put his head down and got to work. His dedication and commitment saw him nominated for Young Player of the Season in Scotland, an award he later secured.

Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore avoids serious injury scare

The Spurs youngster has shown no sign of easing off, marking his latest milestone with a goal against Rangers’ bitter rivals Celtic in the Old Firm derby.

The teenager is no stranger to scoring on this stage, having also found the net earlier in the season in a 3-0 win against Celtic.

However, in the latest encounter, the Spurs youngster was on the receiving end of a dangerous tackle as Celtic defender Alistair Johnston lunged in on the young wide forward with his studs showing, clipping Moore’s ankle in the process.

It could have been far worse for the teenager had he not reacted quickly and leapt over the challenge. Johnston, meanwhile, was fortunate to avoid a red card after the incident.

Tottenham have endured more than their fair share of injuries this season, and given their luck on that front, there would have been real concern over the condition of the young Lilywhite.

Mikey Moore continues to shine for Rangers

Rangers did fall to a disappointing 3-1 defeat, which surely dents their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

As it stands, they are currently seven points behind second-placed Celtic, while Hearts sit top of the group.

Still, while Rangers may have faltered, Moore can certainly be proud of his display after receiving a 7.0 FotMob rating – the highest of any Rangers player. He scored once, created a chance and won half of his ground duels.

Spurs will expect the teenager to return to N17 once his loan spell finishes before deciding the next step in his development.

Opta Supercomputer has revised its numbers on the likelihood of Tottenham going down after their relegation rivals, West Ham, suffered a 1-0 loss to Arsenal at home on Sunday.

It is not often that Spurs fans cheer on an Arsenal side going for the Premier League title, but that is what many Tottenham faithful did on Sunday, as a result of the Lilywhites being involved in a relegation battle.

Arsenal won in controversial circumstances, with the Hammers’ stoppage-time equaliser being ruled out by VAR due to a foul on David Raya.

That result has significantly changed the battle for survival, with Spurs receiving a massive boost ahead of their clash at home against Leeds United this evening.

Tottenham’s relegation likelihood drops significantly after Arsenal’s win on Sunday

It was only two weeks ago that Opta’s Supercomputer put Tottenham’s chances of relegation at 58.57, with the data analysis platform considering West Ham the clear favourites to stay up.

However, the situation has now changed completely after the Lilywhites won at Villa Park and the Hammers lost against both Brentford and Arsenal.

After Nuno Espirito Santo’s men came out on the wrong side of the result on Sunday, Opta now gives them an 86.65 per cent chance of going down.

In stark contrast, the website gives Spurs just a 13.35 per cent chance of joining Burnley and Wolves in the Championship next season.

Opta predicts Tottenham will finish in 17th place with an estimated 41.35 points, while West Ham will finish in 18th with 38.57 points.

A failure to beat Leeds will leave Spurs in a tricky position

Roberto De Zerbi’s men now have a huge opportunity to go four points clear of West Ham and give themselves some breathing space in the fight for survival.

However, failure to beat Leeds will bring Tottenham right back into the race for relegation, given the fixtures that Spurs and West Ham have remaining.

Spurs go to Stamford Bridge next, and one can be sure that the Chelsea players and fans will be very motivated to hand the Lilywhites a big blow.

Given Tottenham’s poor record in West London, they would ideally want the pressure to be off for the London derby, and the only way that will happen is if they beat Leeds.

Brighton CEO and deputy chairman, Paul Barber, has shed light on the conversations he has held with Roberto De Zerbi about Tottenham Hotspur.

It is still early days for De Zerbi at Spurs, and the Italian will be aware that his side has a lot of work to do to remain in the Premier League.

However, the early signs suggest that the 46-year-old is a natural fit for the club, with the fans really taking to the newcomer.

Various Tottenham players have also lavished praise on De Zerbi for restoring confidence and belief in the squad, and the Spurs camp seems to be a happy one for the moment.

Paul Barber reveals Roberto De Zerbi always had a soft spot for Tottenham

Barber, who was the man who took the Italian to Brighton back in 2022, has now revealed that De Zerbi has always been fond of Tottenham due to the club’s history of playing with flair.

The Brighton chief, who previously worked as a general manager at Tottenham, predicted that Spurs fans will really take to the Italian personality and his character.

When asked if De Zerbi spoke to him about the culture at Spurs, the Seagulls CEO told SportsAgentsPod: “Roberto and I talked about Tottenham when we worked together at Brighton, because it was one of the clubs he looked to when he was growing up. For the flair, ‘the game is about the glory’, the Bill Nicholson way.

“He was very aware, going into Tottenham, not only the size of the club and the expectations, not just on staying up this season, but the way they play, and what the fans expect there. I think he’s a good fit there, he is a fantastic coach, a really good person, an intense character. I think the fans will really respond to his way of coaching the team from the technical area.”

De Zerbi has been given the reins for a long-term project

Both parties evidently see this marriage as a long-term one, with De Zerbi having signed with Spurs until 2031.

Furthermore, reports indicate that the new Tottenham boss has been given plenty of power in the club’s recruitment decisions, as he goes about rebuilding the squad.

However, before he can start planning for the summer, De Zerbi would first have to ensure that the Lilywhites secure their top-flight status.

Former Tottenham forward Ronny Rosenthal has issued a warning to his former club about the relegation battle after they registered two back-to-back wins and moved out of the bottom three.

Even when his side were in an extremely precarious position a couple of weeks ago, De Zerbi insisted that he believes Tottenham will stay up.

In fact, after seeing his side drop two points at home against Brighton, the Tottenham boss confidently asserted that his side can win all of their last five league games.

That seemed like wishful thinking at the time, but following back-to-back away wins at the Midlands, Spurs fans now have good reason to believe that the Italian believed what he was saying.

Tottenham warned that they still have a big chance of being relegated

According to Opta’s Supercomputer, West Ham are now big favourites to join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship next season.

That prediction is perhaps down to the fact that Tottenham have an easier fixture list on paper than the Hammers do.

However, Ronny Rosenthal has now warned his former club that they are not out of trouble yet, claiming they still stand a 40 per cent chance of going down.

When asked about Spurs’ chance of surviving, the pundit told Flash Score: “Of course, it’s a crazy situation for Tottenham, but after the last win against Villa, I think they have maybe a 40% chance of going down, and 60% to stay up. They obviously have to beat Leeds to stand a chance, and hope that West Ham don’t win. There’s still a chance for them to forget this horrible season.”

Rosenthal has noticed a positive sign regarding Roberto De Zerbi

However, the former Spurs man admitted that he is seeing one sign that bodes well for the Lilywhites’ chances of avoiding relegation.

He claimed that De Zerbi has tightened up the Tottenham defence, knowing full well that the Lilywhites are short of quality in attack.

When asked if the win at Villa Park could be a turning point for Spurs, Rosenthal responded: “I think so, yes. It seems to me that tactically, the new manager understands the defensive side of the game because he knows he doesn’t have a top team, and he cannot kill off games.”

Tottenham Hotspur have just discovered what it will take for them to win the race for Juventus centre-back Pierre Kalulu.

Amid reports linking Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero with an exit from Spurs, it is not surprising to see the Lilywhites being credited with an interest in many top young centre-backs.

One of those is Pierre Kalulu, whom Tottenham are thought to be plotting a move for, as his future at Allianz Arena has come into question.

The Juve man has been on the Lilywhites’ radar for a while, with Spurs even considering a move for the French centre-back ahead of the January window.

Three other Premier League clubs could challenge Tottenham for Pierre Kalulu

Journalist Mark Brus has now revealed on CaughtOffside that the 25-year-old may indeed be bound for the Premier League this summer.

Brus makes no mention of Tottenha’s interest, but he claims that Liverpool are monitoring the Juve man, with their scouts having been impressed by the centre-back’s displays this season.

Additionally, he adds that Manchester United and Aston Villa are also in the mix to land Kalulu, as both clubs eye defensive reinforcements.

However, he makes it clear that as things stand, there is no clear frontrunner in the race for the France international. The Reds and the Red Devils are continuing to study the various options on the market before determining who the ideal signing would be to boost their backline.

Juventus’ stance on Kalulu and potential asking price revealed

Brus claims to have heard from sources close to Juventus that the Serie A club ‘do not intend to sell’ the defender and view him as ‘central’ to their long-term project.

Additionally, the Bianconeri are also preparing to offer Kalulu a new contract with Juventus, which runs until 2030, in order to secure his future and protect his value.

However, the journalist also reveals that he has heard from industry agents that Juve would sell the centre-back for the right price, perhaps for around €40m (£34.5) if he does not sign a contract extension in Turin.

Big changes are expected in Spurs’ defence this summer, and with key players linked with moves away, the club may need a new leader at the back who fits De Zerbi’s style of football. Manchester City defender John Stones could soon become a free agent, and his experience and leadership make him another strong option as Tottenham look to rebuild their defence ahead of next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are already planning ahead for a busy summer window, with reports suggesting deals are in place for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, although both depend on the club staying in the Premier League. Because of that uncertainty, even if those signings go through, Spurs still face a much bigger issue in defence, especially with questions around several key players.

Cristian Romero has been linked with a possible exit, Micky van de Ven’s future is not fully clear, and Radu Dragusin could also move on, which means Tottenham may not just need one or two changes, but a full reshaping of their defensive line as they try to build a more stable team under Roberto De Zerbi.

That rebuild is already being planned, with Robertson and Senesi both expected to arrive on free transfers if Spurs avoid relegation, but the situation remains tight as the club continues to fight near the bottom of the table, making Premier League survival crucial for De Zerbi to properly start his overhaul for the 2026/27 season.

Even if those deals are completed, Spurs would still lack depth and experience at the back, and that is where John Stones becomes a serious option, especially as the Manchester City defender is now being linked with an exit after a long spell at the club.

Stones has been a key part of Pep Guardiola’s successful side and has played an important role in big games over the years, which makes his experience at the highest level a natural fit for Tottenham to consider.

This is not a new idea either, as the Lilywhites have shown interest in him before, including a previous attempt to sign him back in 2020, which shows he has been on their radar for a long time as they look to strengthen their defence.

John Stones’ situation at Manchester City and Tottenham interest

John Stones is now being discussed as a possible target for Tottenham because his long spell at City looks close to ending after ten years at the club, where he became an important player under Guardiola and a key part of one of the most successful periods in City’s history.

Since joining from Everton in 2016 for £47.5m, Stones has made almost 300 appearances for City and played a major role in their success, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League, and several domestic trophies while becoming one of Guardiola’s most trusted defenders.

However, after many successful years at the Etihad Stadium, his situation now appears to be changing, with reports suggesting his contract will expire this summer and no new deal currently agreed, meaning he could leave the club at the end of the season.

As speculation around his future continues to grow, Stones recently reflected on his time at Manchester City in an emotional message, describing the club as his “home for life” and saying he had “lived all my dreams out” during his ten years there. He also praised Guardiola for helping shape his career and turning him into the player he is today.

With his future now uncertain, several clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of a possible free transfer, and Spurs are among the sides being linked with interest as they prepare for major defensive changes this summer.

That interest is understandable given Stones’ experience at the highest level, his calmness in possession, and his ability to step into midfield when needed, all of which suit the style De Zerbi wants from his defenders as the Lilywhites continue their rebuild ahead of next season.

Should Spurs move for John Stones?

Tottenham’s reported interest in John Stones might seem understandable because of their need to strengthen defensively, but there are strong reasons why this would not be a good signing under De Zerbi, especially at this stage of the rebuild.

The main concern is his injury record over recent seasons at Manchester City, where he has missed a significant number of games. Spurs already struggle with fitness problems across the squad, so signing another defender who cannot be relied on to stay fit would not improve the situation and could add more uncertainty to the back line.

Even though Stones brings top-level experience and has won major trophies under Pep Guardiola, Tottenham are now focused on building a younger and more consistent squad for the future. Because of that, it does not make sense to bring in a player who may not be available every week, even if his quality is proven.

That point also connects to Luka Vuskovic, who is seen as one of the club’s most exciting young defenders and a key part of the long-term plan. If Stones were to join, especially alongside other defensive signings, it could reduce Vuskovic’s chances of playing regular first-team football and slow his development.

For these reasons, even as a free transfer, Stones does not look like the right signing for Tottenham. The club would be better off targeting younger defenders who are more reliable physically and can develop alongside the rest of the squad over time.

Lucas Bergvall arrived at Tottenham Hotspur with high expectations as one of Europe’s most promising young midfield talents. However, under head coach Roberto De Zerbi, he may now find it difficult to secure regular starts, as the Italian has settled on a trusted midfield trio that has helped bring more stability and improvement to the team during a difficult fight to stay in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a long and difficult season, but Roberto De Zerbi has helped the team believe again with a strong impact since taking charge over the past few weeks. De Zerbi was appointed during the March international break after Igor Tudor was dismissed following a poor spell in charge after Thomas Frank left in February, with the club in a bad position at the time.

It has been a tough season overall, but the new head coach was given just seven games to try and move Spurs out of the relegation zone. After back-to-back away wins against Wolves and Aston Villa, they are now two points above 18th place West Ham United. This is clear progress, but the club is still not safe. To finish the job, De Zerbi will need his key players to keep performing at a high level in the final games of the season.

Tottenham’s key figures in the final run-in

One of the most important players in this run-in could be Micky van de Ven. Even though his long-term future at the club is still not certain, he remains a key part of the team, and his role could be even more important as Spurs head into the final weeks of the season.

This becomes even more important when looking at Tottenham’s defensive record this season. The team have struggled for most of the campaign and remain one of the weakest defensive sides in the Premier League. However, there has been clear improvement under Roberto De Zerbi, with the side looking more organised and harder to break down in recent matches, including their last two wins against Wolves and Aston Villa.

That improvement is needed, especially after the setback of losing Cristian Romero to injury. He was forced off on De Zerbi’s debut against Sunderland after suffering a serious muscle injury, and he is now expected to miss the rest of the season, with a summer exit also being considered.

With Romero out, Van de Ven’s importance has grown even more. However, it is not just him, as several other players across the squad are also doing their best to contribute, and they will all need to step up if Tottenham are to stay solid and finish the season strongly in their fight to avoid the drop.

How Tottenham’s midfield has improved under Roberto De Zerbi

That need for stability is also clear in midfield, where Rodrigo Bentancur’s return from injury has helped bring more balance and control to the team. With Bentancur back in the side, there is now growing belief around north London that Tottenham can continue their recent improvement and add another positive result when Leeds United travel to N17 on Monday.

Much of that confidence comes from the partnership Bentancur has built with Conor Gallagher and the tough-tackling Joao Palhinha in recent weeks. Their understanding in midfield has helped Spurs look more settled, and that has played a big role in the team’s recent improvement.

Because that midfield trio is now performing so well together, De Zerbi finally has a setup he can trust. After finding a winning formula, the Italian is expected to stick with the same group for the rest of the season, even if it limits opportunities for younger players like Lucas Bergvall.

The situation facing Lucas Bergvall at Tottenham

That situation directly affects Lucas Bergvall, who arrived at Tottenham after the club beat Barcelona to his signing in January 2024 under Ange Postecoglou. As a result, he has already shown flashes of his ability, especially in how he uses his strength on the ball and his willingness to drive forward when given minutes.

His numbers also back this up, with a dribble success rate of 60.9% in the Premier League, showing his ability to carry the ball and progress play while still helping defensively. However, despite those positives, his progress has slowed in recent weeks as he has not started since the defeat to Sunderland in De Zerbi’s first game in charge, where he struggled and was taken off after losing all 12 of his duels. Since then, the midfield has become more settled and consistent, which has made it harder for him to force his way back into the team.

Because of that stability in midfield, he may have to wait longer for his next opportunity, even though he is still highly rated and seen as an important long-term part of the squad. Chelsea and Aston Villa have also shown interest in him, but Tottenham continue to view him as a key player for the future, while De Zerbi focuses on consistency during a crucial stage of the season.

Bergvall’s pathway into De Zerbi’s team next season

Looking ahead to next season, Lucas Bergvall’s challenge will change from waiting for chances to fighting for a clear place in De Zerbi’s Tottenham team. With strong competition in midfield and attacking areas, he will need to show where he fits best in the squad.

One main option is in central midfield, where he could compete for a deeper role similar to Joao Palhinha. In that position, he would need to bring energy and help move the ball forward, which could give him chances to break into the team. He can also play in attacking midfield, but there he will face strong competition from James Maddison and a returning Dejan Kulusevski, while Xavi Simons is expected to miss most of the season, which could still open some space.

Another option is the inside-right position, where he could be used in more attacking areas. Even though he is not a natural winger, his energy and ability on the ball could help him play there when needed, especially as cover. Because of all this competition in different roles, Bergvall’s progress next season will depend on how well he fits into De Zerbi’s system and how he uses his chances.

Former Everton and Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness has predicted what the Lewis family may be about to do as Tottenham embark on a crucial summer transfer window.

The focus of Roberto De Zerbi and the Tottenham players for the moment is to secure the club’s Premier League status, with the Lilywhites still having plenty of work to do to achieve that goal.

However, reports indicate that Spurs have already begun preparations for the summer transfer window as De Zerbi looks to put his own imprint on the squad ahead of his first full season in charge.

The Tottenham boss is expected to have plenty of power in recruitment decisions after signing a five-year contract with the club.

Tottenham could get £200m windfall due to Lewis family’s art sale

Reports have indicated that Spurs are ready to make some ambitious moves this summer, following a quiet January window.

Kieth Wyness has now indicated that Tottenham are deliberately publicising their strategy of making high-profile moves in the summer, and he revealed that their coffers could be boosted as a result of the Lewis family selling their art collection.

The former Everton chief told Football Insider: “It seems to be part of a pretty deliberate strategy from Spurs’ communication side to actually link themselves with a number of players, very high-profile players.

“It seems to be more about getting the narrative about what’s going to be happening next season, trying to take the fans’ minds off of the real peril in front of them right now in terms of relegation. It seems like a pretty clear strategy.

“Now, the problem with this is that if it does happen, and they do stay up, they’re then going to have to through with it. We know that the financial situation at Spurs is not great. I saw the other day that the Lewis family are going to be selling their art collection valued at over £200m.

“I don’t know if that’s going to be coming into the Spurs coffers because they’re going to need that sort of money coming in from the owners to start to make an impact on the squad for next season, so we don’t get a repeat of what’s happened this year.”

Spurs need big investment from their owners

Tottenham’s latest financial statements showed that all was not rosy at the club, with the North Londoners posting their worst-ever pre-tax profit.

There is a big cash flow problem at Spurs, with the club holding just £20.4m in liquid cash, which is a 10-year low.

Mikey Moore has struck again for Rangers, this time on the biggest stage in Scottish football, as the Tottenham academy graduate continues to go from strength to strength north of the border.

Moore has evolved into one of Rangers’ best attackers over the last few months and is now consistently showing just how special a talent he is.

The Tottenham youngster has won the Young Player of the Year award in Scotland, showcasing why many at Hotspur Way see him as a generational talent.

The teenager is finishing his spell in Glasgow in style, and made a decisive contribution again this afternoon against Rangers’ fierce rivals.

Moore produced the goods once again for the Gers, this time against their bitter rivals at Parkhead in what is a crucial game in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.

The 18-year-old opened the scoring for the away side in just 10 minutes, netting his seventh goal of the season for Danny Rohl’s men.

Moore was on hand to guide the ball home from a few yards out after forward Youssef Chermiti’s attempt at goal was blocked, with the strike silencing the home crowd.

This is not the first time that Moore has netted in the Old Firm Derby. He scored the third goal against Celtic in a 3-0 win earlier this season.

Moore has shown great character to bounce back from adversity at Rangers

It was not all smooth sailing for the teenager in his first few months at Ibrox, with the winger initially struggling to get regular starts under his belt under Russel Martin.

In fact, Moore even revealed that Tottenham wanted him to return to the club, but he decided to fight and prove his worth in Rangers colours.

The mental character he has shown and the pressure he has experienced in Glasgow will certainly hold the youngster in good stead when he returns to North London.
