Roberto De Zerbi’s spat with Richarlison has emerged as an unwanted distraction for Tottenham Hotspur, who are still scoreless in the Premier League through four matches in 2026–27.
The Lilywhites entered De Zerbi’s first full season in charge with lofty expectations off the back of a summer transfer window in which they spent more than $423.9 million (£302 million) on 10 new signings, including a club-record $133 million (£100 million) purchase of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United.
