Spurs Web

Tottenham Hotspur fans have now shared a mixed reaction to the club’s latest managerial appointment of Roberto De Zerbi.

Tottenham Hotspur are now embarking on yet another new era under their fourth manager since that unforgettable night in Bilbao.

Ange Postecoglou’s tenure was cut short after delivering silverware, but his successor, Thomas Frank, failed to build on that trophy win and was axed following a series of poor results on the pitch.

Spurs’ next appointment, Igor Tudor, had one of the briefest spells of any manager in recent history, with his time coming to an end after 44 days in north London, a period in which he was winless in the league.

Tottenham fans react to Roberto De Zerbi appointment

Tottenham have now succeeded in appointing Roberto De Zerbi as their new head coach, with the Italian agreeing a five-year deal. No relegation clause was included in his contract, despite reports stating otherwise.

The Italian will now be focused on meeting his new squad before Spurs take to the pitch on April 12 against Sunderland.

Many Tottenham fans have now shared their reactions to the latest managerial appointment, with responses ranging from positive to negative.

One fan said: “Great addition, I wish you well Gaffer,” while another called for unity: “Robert De Zerbi Welcome to Spurs boss 🤍 This man will 100% keep us up Leave your egos at the front door and get behind him Spurs fans COME ON YOU SPURS.”

Another supporter added: “Welcome Roberto. Seven biggest games in our history starting with Sunderland away. Let us go.”

However, not all reactions have been positive. One fan questioned the club’s decision-making, stating: “A club who is famous for being tight with finances are hiring a bloke who likes to call out the board for not spending. What could possibly go wrong?”

Another delivered a more scathing verdict: “APPOINTING ROBERTO DE ZERBI ON A LONG-TERM DEAL WHILE SPURS ARE TEETERING NEAR THE BOTTOM? THIS IS NOT LONG-TERM VISION, IT IS A RECKLESS ROLL OF THE DICE THAT COULD TURN FANS’ DREAMS INTO A SEASON-LONG NIGHTMARE!”

Other supporters, including prominent Spurs fan groups, have continued to question De Zerbi’s comments relating to Mason Greenwood, and his suitability to serve as the face of Tottenham Hotspur.

One fan said: “Disgusting. I have no idea how the women working with the first team and all the women fans feel about this. The club continues to stoop lower and lower.”

Another added: “Every time I think the club can’t sink lower, you prove me wrong.”

Spurs concerns remain after De Zerbi arrival

There are several reasons why this De Zerbi appointment could end badly for Tottenham, and one of them is the lack of full support from fans.

Before landing the job, three Spurs supporters’ groups came forward calling for the club to go against De Zerbi, given his backing of Mason Greenwood during his time at Marseille.

The former Brighton manager also has a track record of falling out with those higher up, as seen during his spell with the Seagulls and Marseille.

He is not the perfect candidate, but Tottenham will be hoping that he can steady the ship and bring some stability in the coming years.

AC Milan’s stance on Pervis Estupinan has now been revealed after Tottenham Hotspur expressed interest in the player.

Even if Spurs avoid relegation, the expectation is that there will be some major changes to the Tottenham squad this summer after another poor campaign domestically.

Some senior players could be on their way out this summer, with Destiny Udogie being among those attracting transfer interest.

Spurs have identified a Serie A star as a potential replacement for the Italy international, and the Lilywhites have been handed a boost ahead of their summer pursuit.

Tottenham target Pervis Estupinan may be set for an AC Milan exit

A couple of days ago, reports from Italy claimed that Tottenham had set their sights on Pervis Estupinan, who swapped Brighton for AC Milan last summer.

This has now been backed up in a new report in CalcioMercato, which claims that the North London club are ready to bring the left-back to the Premier League.

The outlet states that the Rossoneri management have not been entirely convinced by Estupinan’s performances this term, and could be ready to cash in on him after just one season.

With Tottenham now setting their sights on the Ecuador international, it is suggested that his future at the San Siro now ‘hangs in the balance’.

Roberto De Zerbi factor could play a role in Spurs’ Estupinan pursuit

Reports suggest that Roberto De Zerbi is now close to agreeing a deal to become Tottenham’s next head coach after the Lilywhites parted ways with Igor Tudor.

CalcioMercato point out that De Zerbi worked with Estupinan at the Amex Stadium and suggests that the Italian’s arrival at Spurs could play a role in the club’s pursuit of the left-back.

Even though Milan paid €19m (£16.4m) including bonuses to sign Estupinan last year, it is alleged that they would be ready to sell him for around €14m (£12m) this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have just discovered that Chelsea have entered the race to sign a full-back who is on their summer wishlist.

If the Lilywhites do manage to stay up, the expectation is that Tottenham will significantly rebuild the squad this summer after what has been a disastrous campaign.

They could enter the market for a left-back this summer despite landing Souza in January, as reports indicate that Destiny Udogie faces an uncertain future at Spurs.

The Lilywhites have been linked to make a move for another South American left-back, but they will have to see off plenty of competition for the player.

Man United ready to challenge Tottenham for Maxi Araujo

Last week, it emerged that Spurs and Chelsea had both expressed an interest in Sporting Lisbon’s Maxi Araujo, who has been one of the most consistent left-backs in the Portuguese top-flight over the last two years.

A new report in A Bola has now confirmed interest from Tottenham Hotspur and their London rivals, but they say that another Premier League giant has now entered the race for the left-back.

Man United are the latest club to express an interest in the 26-year-old, with a three-horse race emerging for the defender’s services.

The outlet adds that the Red Devils’ entry into ‘could shift the dynamics’ of the race for the Uruguayan, particularly if Michael Carrick’s men decide to move quickly.

What is Sporting Lisbon’s stance on Araujo?

A Bola make it clear that despite the growing interest in Araujo’s services, Sporting are not looking to sell the player.

The plan at the club is to keep hold of the left-back for one more season, and they are in a strong position to do so since he is contracted until 2029.

The outlet adds that Araujo has an €80m (£69m) release clause in his contract, but the belief is that Sporting would consider offers starting around €40m (£34.5m).

Tottenham Hotspur have discovered that they will face plenty of competition in their pursuit of a highly-rated Serie A midfielder.

While Tottenham’s main focus right now would be on doing whatever it takes to ensure their Premier League survival, the summer transfer window is not far away.

After a quiet January window, it has been suggested that Spurs are plotting some ambitious moves this summer, but that, of course, would be contingent on them staying in the top-flight.

Reports indicate that Tottenham are eyeing strengthening their midfield department, with a young Serie A star catching their eye.

Tottenham battling Aston Villa and Brighton for Mandela Keita

Last month, it emerged that Tottenham’s scouts had made regular trips to Italy to watch Parma midfielder Mandela Keita this season.

A new report in Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) has now also claimed that Parma’s rising star is on the Lilywhites’ radar.

The youngster, who has been capped once by Belgium, has impressed with his energy and all-round play in the middle of the park, and Tottenham Hotspur are not the only Premier League club impressed by his performances.

The outlet claims that the North Londoners face competition from both Aston Villa and Brighton, who have also been monitoring Keita ahead of the summer.

Is Keita expected to be available this summer?

Gazzetta say that the interest in the 23-year-old is not limited to England, with Bologna also eyeing Keita as they plot a midfield rebuild this summer.

The outlet points out that Parma paid €11.9m (£10.3m) to sign the youngster from Royal Antwerp in 2024, and they are in a strong negotiating position since the player still has three years left on his current deal.

The report makes no mention of what the midfielder’s stance is on his future at Ennio Tardini Stadium, but one would imagine that Spurs may have a hard job convincing him to sign for them over Villa or Brighton, given the season the Lilywhites are having.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to battle it out with North London rivals Arsenal for the services of a Real Madrid forward this summer.

Spurs have lacked quality in the final third for much of this season and have not managed to replace the goals they lost last summer when they sold Heung-min Son.

Having failed to strengthen their forward line in January, one would expect the club to prioritise adding some firepower to the Tottenham squad in the summer.

One Real Madrid star, for whom the Lilywhites explored a move in January, is now emerging as a serious target for the club ahead of the summer.

Tottenham battling Arsenal for Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz

It was reported that Tottenham enquired about Brahim Diaz in the final days of the January window, and they are now set to try again this summer.

This is according to Sports Boom, which reports that Diaz wants to leave the Spanish capital in order to get regular game time elsewhere.

The 26-year-old, who has just one year left on his deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, has attracted the attention of Spurs, who see him as the ‘perfect link-man’ for their high-transition system.

However, Diaz is also on the radar at Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta seeing the attacker as an option to open up low-blocks.

The two North London clubs have emerged as the ‘most serious candidates’ for the Moroccan international, with the Gunners preparing a package worth €35m (£30.3m) plus bonuses to test Madrid’s resolve.

What is Real Madrid’s stance on Diaz?

The interest in Diaz is not restricted to the Lilywhites and Arsenal, with CaughtOffside revealing that Brentford and Crystal Palace have also enquired about his availability.

The outlet claims that the Madrid management are ‘extremely satisfied’ with the versatile attacker and are not prioritising his sale in the summer.

However, Los Blancos may cash in on him to fund moves for other targets if the Moroccan expresses a desire to leave. The La Liga giants are expected to demand around €40–€45m (£34.7m – £39m) for the former Manchester City man.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a Serie A centre-back, but they will face heavy competition for his signature in the summer.

Reports indicate that the Tottenham hierarchy are worried about the possibility of losing both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven this summer.

Additionally, some of the biggest clubs in Europe are allegedly after Luka Vuskovic, who is enjoying an outstanding breakthrough season on loan at Hamburg.

It thus comes as no surprise that the North London club appear to be scouring the market for possible replacements, and one experienced defender has caught their eye.

Tottenham battling Premier League duo for Evan Ndicka

Tottenham were credited with an interest in Roma star Evan Ndicka last summer, and the club have not yet given up their pursuit of the centre-back.

This is according to CaughtOffside, who say that Tottenham and Liverpool are both tracking the Roma star closely ahead of the summer window.

Spurs and the Reds are ‘expected to increase their interest’ in the 26-year-old as we get close to the summer window, as both clubs step up plans to reinforce their backline.

Additionally, the report reveals that Man United have now become the latest Premier League club to enter the race for the Ivory Coast international, who is also wanted by clubs from the continent.

Ndicka price revealed as two European giants circle

CaughtOffside reveal that two European giants are also fans of Ndicka, with Bayern Munich keeping tabs on the player and Barcelona having held long-term interest in the defender.

Roma do not wish to lose the former Eintracht Frankfurt man this summer, but they may be forced to cash in as they need to sell key players before June 30 to comply with the financial regulations.

It is suggested that the Giallorossi may be tempted to sell Ndicka if they receive an offer in the region of €45m (£39m).

The Tottenham Hotspur 2026-27 home kit design has now been leaked ahead of next season, revealing one familiar design detail.

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans are very focused on on-pitch matters, and they can hardly be blamed given their side’s struggles in the Premier League.

Tottenham currently run the risk of being a Championship side next season as they remain dangerously close to the relegation places.

Spurs will now be hoping that the appointment of a third manager will be enough to help them beat the drop this term and begin planning for next season.

Tottenham 2026-27 home kit leaked with classic white and navy design

Moving away from performance-related matters, FootyHeadlines have now shared a leaked version of the Tottenham 2026-27 home kit – a kit that is said to have a no-nonsense design.

Based on the leaks, the Tottenham 2026-27 home kit features the usual traditional white design with navy accents and subtle diagonal striping.

The strip is said to have drawn inspiration from Tottenham’s mid-1980s Hummel kits. Those shirts were predominantly white and had navy accents, along with subtle diagonal striping as well.

What colour is the AIA logo on the 26-27 Spurs home kit

The big question, however, for most fans is the colour of the AIA logo on the front of the home kit. The 1980s Hummel strips often featured navy blue for the chest sponsor.

This time, though, unfortunately, the colour of the AIA logo remains red, maintaining the same look as this season’s kit, which fans dread.

As for the release date, the Nike Tottenham 2026-2027 home shirt is expected to be available for purchase from May to August 2026.

Former Middlesbrough icon, Juninho Paulista, has made an interesting revelation about how close he came to a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

At a time when not a lot of Brazilians found it easy to adapt to English football, Paulista was one of the first trailblazers from his country to make a name for himself in the Premier League.

Across his three stints at Boro (including his loan spell), the attacking midfielder made 150 appearances, scoring 34 goals and providing 18 assists.

He wrote his name into the club’s history books by winning the 2004 League Cup, and he has now made an admission about having a chance to move to bigger Premier League clubs.

Juninho Paulista regrets turning down Tottenham move

Paulista has now revealed that when his time at the Riverside Stadium was coming to an end, he had the opportunity to move to Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur.

The 53-year-old, who won 49 caps for Brazil, confessed that he would move to White Hart Lane or Anfield if he got the chance to rewind time. Juninho even won the World Cup in 2002 and claimed a bronze medal at the Olympics in 1996.

Paulita said on the Charla podcast: “There was interest from Manchester United, but they didn’t want to pay what Middlesbrough wanted. I think it was £12m (€14m). Ferguson didn’t want to pay.

“Liverpool and Tottenham made offers. If I had the awareness I have today, I wouldn’t have left England. I would have gone to Liverpool or Tottenham.”

On Sunday, Tottenham made the inevitable announcement that they had parted ways with Igor Tudor, with the Croat lasting just 44 days at the helm.

The former Juventus boss leaves Spurs just a point off the relegation zone with seven league games left.

Johan Lange has now opened up on Tottenham Hotspur’s latest managerial appointment – Roberto De Zerbi – revealing why Spurs appointed him.

Tottenham Hotspur have now completed the signing of their third manager of the season, agreeing a five-year deal with Roberto De Zerbi.

The former Brighton manager arrives in north London following a Spurs’ disappointing spell under interim boss Igor Tudor, who failed to secure a single Premier League victory during his time in the Tottenham dugout.

The Lilywhites will expect a much better showing from De Zerbi as they continue their fight to maintain their Premier League status this season.

Johan Lange explains Roberto De Zerbi appointment at Tottenham

Johan Lange has now opened up on the recent appointment of Roberto De Zerbi while speaking to the official Tottenham channels. He explained the club’s long-term interest in the Italian and what he brings to the role.

Speaking to the club’s official channels, he said: “Roberto was our number one target for the summer and we are very pleased to be able to bring him in now.

“He is one of the most creative and forward-thinking coaches in world football, and brings with him a wealth of experience at the highest level, including in the Premier League.”

De Zerbi himself also spoke to Tottenham’s media team. He said: “I am delighted to be joining this fantastic football club, which is one of the biggest and most prestigious in the world.

“In all my discussions with the Club’s leadership, their ambition for the future has been clear – to build a team capable of reaching great achievements, and to do that playing a style of football that excites and inspires our supporters. I am here because I believe in that ambition and have signed a long-term contract to give everything to deliver it.

“Our short-term priority is to climb the Premier League table, which will be the complete focus until the final whistle of the last game of the season. I’m looking forward to getting out on the training pitch and working with these players to achieve that.”

Spurs players excited to work under De Zerbi after international break

Tottenham fans will now hope that De Zerbi can bring some stability to their performances on the pitch after what has been a disastrous campaign thus far.

Tottenham Hotspur have finally secured their preferred managerial target, with Roberto De Zerbi now able to outline his vision at a crucial stage of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur have finally landed their preferred managerial target – Roberto De Zerbi – as they aim to improve their fortunes on the pitch.

The former Brighton manager arrives under significant pressure, tasked with restoring belief across the club while rebuilding the confidence of a deflated group of players.

Spurs’ trust in De Zerbi is quite evident, given the lengths they went to bring him to north London. De Zerbi has signed a five-year contract with a huge salary that puts him in the company of Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta.

Tottenham appoint Roberto De Zerbi as manager

Tottenham fans are now able to hear from their third – and hopefully last – manager this season, who they hope will hit the ground running and improve performances on the pitch.

Spurs set for Roberto De Zerbi debut as Sunderland fixture approaches

The timing of De Zerbi’s appointment is no doubt perfect for Tottenham, who do not take to the pitch again until April 12.

This should allow the new manager some time to get his principles and philosophy into this group of players before they take on Sunderland in his first match in charge.

That will, of course, be a big encounter for Tottenham, who will be desperate to start getting points on the board as they look to avoid relegation.
