The North London outfit is looking to bring in a quality manager, and they have identified the 46-year-old as a target. According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the 46-year-old manager is open to joining the Premier League club, which will come as a huge boost for Tottenham.

There is no doubt that De Zerbi is a quality manager, and he has shown that with clubs like Brighton and Marseille in recent years.
De Zerbi is highly rated across Europe, and he could prove an exciting addition to Tottenham. His attacking philosophy could be an instant hit with the fans. Tottenham need someone who can lift the spirits around the club and help the team bounce back.
During his time at Brighton, he helped them secure a top-six finish, which is their highest Premier League finish in history. In addition, he helped them secure a place in European football. At Marseille, he helped the French outfit push for the lead title. He knows how to work with limited resources and maximise the resources at his disposal.
The opportunity to return to the Premier League will be exciting for the Italian, and it remains to be seen whether the North London club can get the deal done.
They are a big club, and it has been a disappointing season for them. They should be fighting for Champions League football regularly and competing for trophies. Instead, they find themselves scrapping for survival. The Italian manager could help turn things around for them. There were rumours that he would wait until the summer to take the job, but it seems that an immediate move is on the cards now.
Tottenham fans will hope that he can make an immediate impact and help them survive in the Premier League. They have quality players at their disposal, and the Italian certainly has the pedigree to get the best out of them.
