Roberto de Zerbi said players COUNTING on Spurs who are not happy must move away. The Italian, who took over in March and saved the club from relegation, made the comments amid doubts over Sweden midfielder Lucas Bergvall. Tottenham turned down an initial £38m bid from Nottingham Forest, who will lift it to £45m.

“Who is not happy, is not proud to stay here, has to leave,” De Zerbi said before the pre‑season friendly in New Zealand. He stressed the need for motivation and pride, adding that the club will keep signings likeечно Sandro Tonali (£100m) and Mateus Fernandes (£85m). The manager also welcomed defenders Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, noting a focus on filling attacking spots.

Bergvall, 20, began De Zerbi’s first game but has played only a handful of minutes. The coach added that he will discuss with Lucas soon, promising a decision that benefits the club and the player.

In injury news, Mohammed Kudus is ready to return, while Dejan Kulusevski remains uncertain. The club’s attacking midfielder Xavi Simons recounted his severe knee injury, reflecting on the pain and recovery journey.
