Roberto De Zerbi has so far been reluctant to lean on Tottenham’s academy since taking charge in north London, describing the management of young players as “very complicated” given the club’s struggles.
The Spurs boss has admitted that while he does not want to throw the club’s academy players into a “bad situation”, he also doesn’t want to “forget them”. With Spurs still winless in the Premier League this season, it has been difficult for him to take a risk on the next batch of youth products out of Hotspur Way.
