Multiple reports say Roberto De Zerbi is considering a deal-making effort involving his former club Brighton as Tottenham’s squad is reshaped. The Independent and Belfast Telegraph both describe an approach centered on players associated with Brighton, presented as a way to provide immediate reinforcements for Tottenham’s rebuilding plans.
The Independent specifically names Carlos Baleba, Bart Verbruggen and Jan Paul van Hecke as targets. It also lists other players mentioned in connection with De Zerbi’s potential recruitment, including Andy Robertson, John Stones and James Trafford. The reports frame the idea as a “raid” or “triple” move, but do not provide confirmed details on bids, contract situations, or whether negotiations are under way.
Overall, the coverage focuses on De Zerbi’s ties to Brighton and suggests he could leverage those connections to identify and pursue players suited to his plans. At the same time, no sources included here confirm the moves as completed or even officially initiated.
