What happened. Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi said he remains sure about the quality of Spurs' summer signings, including Sandro Tonali, even if they have not played well. Spurs are still winless after three Premier League games, with two losses and a draw.
- Tonali joined from Newcastle last summer for around €115m, a record for an Italian player.
- De Zerbi named Robertson, Senesi, Mateus Fernandes, Tonali, Savio, Van Hecke and Marmoush as signings he trusts.
- Tottenham host Everton next at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“Even if they don't play well, I can't change my idea now.”
— Roberto De Zerbi
Spurs will look to claim their first league win of the season when they host Everton.
