Key Points
- Decorbi hopes to retain Dez Spence.
- Tottenham's Dez Spence is in demand after his excellent performances for England at the World Cup, but coach Roberto Dez Spence is hopeful of keeping him at Tottenham.
- De Zerbi hopes Tottenham can persuade Spence to stay.
Although he came on as a substitute in four of his four matches, he still managed to make 11 of his 19 tackles for Thomas Tuchel's side, which is second on the team. Only Elliot Anderson (18/21) did better than him. Spence also finished joint second among all English players in interceptions (six) and third in successful dribbles (six).Speaking to reporters after a pre-season friendly against Sydney FC in Australia on Wednesday, Dez Spence said his approach to Spence was the same as the one he took regarding Lucas Bieggwal - who is looking for a new challenge. "I repeat what I told Dez and what I told Lucas. I want you to stay if you want to stay. If you don't want to stay, you have to leave."
One player who is set to leave Tottenham is Cristian Romero, as Spurs have added Jan Paul Van Hecke and Marcos Senissi to their defensive options. Romero was criticized when he missed the final match of last season, which could have sent them to the championship, but he later changed his mind.Dez Spence said, "After I came in April, I had a million individual meetings. And players told me whether they would stay here or not. I said, 'Help me and stay up, then I'll help you leave. If you don't help me, you'll stay down with me.'"Tottenham have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer market, making major deals for Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes in midfield and also signing Van Hecke, Senissi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka. But Dez Spence believes there is still more to come and has hinted at a big attacking signing with the likes of Bradley Barcola and Marcus Rashford. "The transfer market is not over, but we have completed 60% of our project. Now we have another 'Bomba'. I don't like to work with plan A, plan B, plan C. It's plan A, that's it. Because not all players are the same. We have to increase the number of goals scored," he said.
Spurs' next pre-season friendly is against Chelsea on Saturday, with Spence among the players who have not been reinstated to their squad after the World Cup.
What will happen next
Decorbi expects Spence to remain at Tottenham, but if he is looking for a new challenge, the club will have to be prepared to fill his place. With the possible departure of Cristian Romero, Tottenham will need to strengthen their defensive options. It is important for the team's success in the upcoming Premier League season that they retain their key players.
