De Zerbi: Misfiring Spurs need time after goalless start

Tottenham have failed to score in their opening three Premier League games, and manager Roberto de Zerbi says turning a costly group of recruits into a functioning team will take time. De Zerbi warned the club’s new-look squad is not an instant solution and needs work to develop cohesion, BBC Sport reported. The manager’s remark comes amid growing concern about Spurs’ attacking output after the blank in each of their first three league fixtures. De Zerbi framed the problem as a process rather than a quick fix, stressing that an expensive collection of players must be forged into a collective unit. The comments underline the challenge facing Tottenham as they seek goals and consistency in the early weeks of the season.
