Overview
- Tottenham have pushed through a heavy summer reset with club-record signings Sandro Tonali for around £100m and Mateus Fernandes for about £85m plus defensive and goalkeeping additions to reshape the squad.
- Roberto De Zerbi has led a visible cultural rebuild at pre-season, holding one-to-one meetings, imposing stricter standards and personally courting recruits to change morale after a season that ended with survival.
- The club's front office has been reorganised with the Lewis Family Trust providing short-term funding, Vinai Venkatesham taking a leading role, Johan Lange remaining as technical director, and new hires from City Football Group focused on performance and injury management.
- Tottenham have shown financial discipline by selling Luka Vuskovic for roughly £45m and declining a permanent Joao Palhinha deal for cost reasons, while De Zerbi continues to target more attacking signings that have been reported in transfer links.
- Early signs are cautiously positive as new players integrate on tour in Sydney, but the club's ability to turn heavy spending, the cultural reset and executive changes into sustained on-field improvement will determine fan confidence and league positioning next season.
