Players worried Tottenham target De Zerbi could leave Brighton

With Brighton currently eighth and also making it to the FA Cup Semi-Final this season, De Zerbi deserves the praise.

It is no shock to see Tottenham want him. If Brighton win their games in hand they could go above Spurs and move up to fifth.

Sadly, it looks like for now, the fears are that he could end up in his home country of Italy. Inter Milan is a European giant and it would be a great club for any manager.

De Zerbi hasn’t been in the Premier League for long, and he could want to stay and continue to prove himself in the division.

Spurs are in a mess at the moment, but with some great players and an amazing stadium, De Zerbi could be tempted to join.

Pep Guardiola is a big fan of the Italian and he showed his love for the manager by him recently. Brighton player Adam Lallana also called De Zerbi .

Meanwhile, fellow Seagulls midfielder Yasin Ayari went even further, De Zerbi “the world’s best coach”.

The fact that players of Brighton are fearful is not a good sign for the club. It is a good sign for interested parties as it shows he is tempted by a move away.
