Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto De Zerbi feels Mateus Fernandes needs time to settle into his role at Spurs. The post ‘I Think He Can’ – Roberto De Zerbi Backs Spurs Star Amid Positional Change appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News, Transfer Rumours & Articles.
Tottenham's heavy spending has been well documented, with Roberto De Zerbi's side shelling out £334m on the likes of Mateus Fernandes, Savio, Omar Marmoush and Sandro Tonali.
Savio enjoyed his Tottenham debut on Wednesday night (Picture: Getty Images) Roberto De Zerbi has challenged new Tottenham signing Savio to score far more goals than he did at Manchester City, setting the winger a specific target. The 22-year-old has made the move to north London this summer in a deal worth an initial £75million and made his debut on Wednesday night. It went very well for the Brazil international as he came off the bench to score a goal and provide an assist in a 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Charlton. In his two seasons at Manchester City the Brazilian was largely a bit part player, making 84 appearances but many of those coming as a substitute.

In those 84 outings he scored just seven goals, netting just twice in 53 Premier League appearances. De Zerbi wants a lot more end product out of the winger and has set him the task of scoring at least 10 goals this season for Spurs. Savio did hit those heights during his loan spell at Girona in 2023/24 when he scored 11 times in all competitions and nine in La Liga. That is the level De Zerbi wants to see him reach again. Roberto De Zerbi has high hopes for the Brazil international (Picture: Getty Images) ‘It was a perfect day for him,’ De Zerbi said of his new signing after the Charlton win. ‘I think his biggest step and biggest improvement is to increase the number of goals. ‘With his qualities, he is one of the best wingers. But the best wingers score many goals. ‘I spoke with him yesterday, two days ago. We put the goal on 10 to 12 goals because we need those goals from the wingers. ‘Last season, I think we suffered too much. Also, because the number of goals were not enough to compete for nothing more than that position.’ Savio celebrates with another big-money summer signing Mateus Fernandes (Picture: Reuters) De Zerbi also had high praise for another summer signing, Mateus Fernandes, who he feels can be a star in two positions in his midfield. ‘Mateus Fernandes is another talent, big talent,’ said the Italian. ‘We are lucky because he can cover two positions on the pitch, like as a pivot or number 10. ‘Anyway, he brings quality, he is dynamic and he fights on the pitch, because I think in the last season he was one of the best players in terms of regaining the ball, in the duel. ‘He is important, like [Conor] Gallagher, because we can’t forget Gallagher. I think today Rodrigo Betancur played very well. I think now he is very important for us. ‘Unfortunately, he started the season later than the other players, but when Rodrigo Betancur is fit, he is available, he is in the right physical condition, he is a different player. Because his understanding is great, he is a different player.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Pape Matar Sarr has been linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur this summer. The 23-year-old is no longer a key player for Tottenham after the arrival of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 17:30 BST). Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Mateus Fernandes are all fit enough to be in the squad for Spurs.

Spurs travel across London on Saturday evening, with De Zerbi aiming to get his side back to the top-end of the Premier League after back-to-back 17th place finishes. In order to do so, the Italian has spent big this summer, signing the likes of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson. Additionally, Tottenham now have a World Cup winner in their squad in Porro, who was outstanding for Spain throughout the tournament.

But the right-back will not play this weekend, with Spurs dealt several injury blows on the eve of the new season. ‘Micky is not on the list tomorrow like Pedro Porro,’ De Zerbi said in his pre-match press conference, shortly after announcing the pair were the new Tottenham captain and vice-captain. ‘James Maddison is inside [the list], Dominic Solanke inside, [Destiny] Udogie inside, Mateus Fernandes inside. New Spurs skipper Micky van de Ven has been plagued by injury issues (Photo: Getty) ‘Pape Matar Sarr is not because he felt some pain, hamstring I think. Nothing important but we don’t take risks especially in this moment. [Mohammed] Kudus is almost ready.’ It is not clear whether Porro is injured or just having extra time to recover after returning late to training following his World Cup heroics. Young midfielder Archie Gray will likely fill-in for the 26-year-old, who is the only natural right-back at the club after England star Djed Spence was sold to Inter Milan. Roberto De Zerbi’s team play Brentford away on Saturday evening (Photo: Getty) Speaking about Van de Ven, who has suffered numerous injury issues during his three seasons in north London, De Zerbi added: ‘Today he worked with us, with the group and he is going very well. ‘He suffered a problem during the pre-season of Australia, I don’t know if it was the flight, but not a big problem. ‘We have [Marcos] Senesi and we have Ben Davies in the right condition to play the game tomorrow.’ Also on the sidelines are Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert as they continue to recovery from long-term injuries. After Brentford, Tottenham face Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night before hosting Newcastle United in the Premier League on August 29.
