Report: Key target ready to honour his promise to De Zerbi and join Tottenham

He has clearly outgrown Newcastle, and it would be ideal for him to join a team with more quality where he can fight for trophies. Even though Tottenham finished 17th in the league table last season, they have quality players at their disposal and have brought in a top manager like De Zerbi.

They could bounce back strongly next year and fight for trophies. With a few intelligent additions, there is no reason why they cannot push for Champions League qualification once again.

Newcastle will look to recoup as much as possible from the departure of the Italian midfielder, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
