These talks are huge. The Italian has managed to make Brighton a side battling for Europe. He clearly wants to push further and it is interesting to see that the transfer policy has caused tension.
Of course the talks do not mean that De Zerbi leaves if they do not go his way. If the meetings between Brighton and De Zerbi do not go well, there will be lots of clubs keen, including Spurs. If these clubs put in an offer and promise him control, then he might find it very hard to turn down.
Pep Guardiola is one manager who is a of De Zerbi. He said: “His (De Zerbi’s) impact will be massive in the future.”
With the Italian so highly rated, it is no shock to see Spurs linked to him. They need to turn fortunes around. A younger manager like De Zerbi who has a progressive managerial style would be an ideal appointment from chairman Daniel Levy.
