De Zerbi Slams Squad After 3-0 Brentford Defeat, Spurs Eye Urgent Double Transfer

Tottenham's Premier League opener ends in disaster as De Zerbi demands reinforcements.

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a comprehensive 3-0 away defeat against Brentford in their opening fixture of the Premier League season, exposing glaring issues within the squad.

Brentford dismantled Spurs with goals from Keane Lewis-Potter, Vitaly Janelt, and Michael Kayode. The poor showing prompted manager Roberto De Zerbi to deliver a scathing ultimatum regarding the team's physical conditioning and lack of cohesion, bluntly stating they are "not a team yet."

In response to the early crisis, Tottenham management has set an urgent deadline to complete a double transfer swoop for Manchester City attackers Omar Marmoush and Savinho to salvage their season start and meet their manager's demands.
