adminTottenham supporters are eager to see progress under Roberto de Zerbi as the new season gets underway.
Last season was a nightmare for Spurs, who spent much of it battling relegation. Results rarely went their way, and a palpable sense of dread filled N17 during home matches.
Confidence drained from the squad, and at times it appeared the Lilywhites had resigned themselves to a steady slide down the Premier League standings.
For several weeks, the North Londoners even lingered in the relegation zone—a stark reminder of how far they had fallen and a sign that demotion in May seemed all but certain.
But the appointment of Roberto de Zerbi proved transformative, reigniting belief across the club. The Italian quickly set short-term targets and made it clear his side would fight for the shirt until the very last whistle.
In a remarkably short period, De Zerbi cleared up the chaos left by both Igor Tudor and Thomas Frank. Under his stewardship, Spurs narrowly secured survival on the final day with a commanding home win over Everton. That turnaround convinced the club to hand the Italian a long-term deal and back him substantially in the summer market.
Spurs tipped for top-half return under De Zerbi
For the first time in ages, Tottenham fans are witnessing decisive transfer activity. The club has shown real ambition this summer, bringing in players ready to make an immediate impact at N17.
They’ve broken their transfer record twice in the past month alone and outspent every other Premier League side as they prepare to launch a new era.
Optimism is building ahead of the new campaign. With such heavy investment, De Zerbi will face pressure to deliver quick results and restore Spurs to their rightful place.
The players are clearly buying into his methods, and preseason already shows noticeable improvement. Now it’s up to De Zerbi to extract the best from his squad over the coming months.
So where might the Lilywhites land this season? Sky Sports’ supercomputer has projected a top-half finish, predicting sixth place with 64 points—eight points shy of Champions League football, with Chelsea slotted into fifth.
That would still mark a significant step forward from last year’s relegation scrap. For it to happen, De Zerbi must ensure his side takes the game to tough opponents, plays with confidence, and shows clear intent from the outset. If they can manage that, the campaign should be deemed a success.
