Roberto De Zerbi, appointed as Tottenham’s third manager for the 2025-26 season, has ordered uncommitted players to leave the club during pre-season in Australia and New Zealand.

Outgoing transfers in the coming weeks will reveal whether the club is genuinely willing to sacrifice short-term stability to rebuild a cohesive team culture.
