Tottenham Hotspur wants to prepare for tough decisions regarding their squad as they are still haunted by the threat of relegation, and at the same time, the club is working hard to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as head coach.
After going down to the wire in a dogfight to stay in the Premier League, Spurs have consequently made a big effort to persuade the Italian tactician to come on board. On the other hand, De Zerbi has shown some reluctance lately, his biggest concern being the risk of relegation, which could harm his managerial image. Although at the beginning he claimed that money would never be a deciding factor, Tottenham went on and now stands prepared to make a concrete proposal.
Getting a new coach on board is, of course, a major move toward saving the club from relegation, but at the same time, the club’s top management is already working on fallback options. If the team goes down, it might lead to various players leaving, including major stars like Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Guglielmo Vicario, who are highly sought after.
It is very important for Tottenham not to let go of their best players at low prices, so they have thought of other ways. They are seriously considering the idea of loaning out big names such as James Maddison, Xavi Simons, and Mohammed Kudus so as not to diminish their value for the future.
Such a move clearly shows how the Spurs so carefully manage their fight to remain in the top flight.
