Unhappy Tottenham players should leave – De Zerbi
Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi has said any player who is unhappy or not proud to remain at the club should leave, amid uncertainty over midfielder Lucas Bergvall’s future. His comments underline Spurs’ effort to build a motivated squad as they continue reshaping the team after avoiding Premier League relegation last season.
Nottingham Forest have had a £38m bid for 20-year-old Bergvall rejected and are expected to offer £45m, while De Zerbi says he will speak to the Sweden international before a decision is made. Tottenham have already spent £185m on midfielders Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, added three defenders, and want further attacking reinforcements; Mohammed Kudus is close to returning from injury, while Dejan Kulusevski remains under assessment.
