De Zerbi targets six Brighton players for Tottenham rebuild

Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham Hotspur manager, has identified three Brighton & Hove Albion players for a transfer push. The targets are midfielder Carlos Baleba, goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and defender Jan Paul Van Hecke. He also lists Andy Robertson, John Stones and James Trafford among desired signings. De Zerbi previously served as Brighton & Hove Albion manager before joining Tottenham. His current rebuild at Tottenham focuses on bolstering key positions. Baleba operates in midfield, Verbruggen provides goalkeeping depth and Van Hecke offers defensive versatility. Robertson plays left-back, Stones anchors central defence and Trafford is a forward. Securing those six players would cover midfield, defensive and attacking needs for Tottenham. The identified targets align with De Zerbi's tactical blueprint. The summer transfer window opens on 1 July, prompting early negotiations. De Zerbi is expected to finalize signings before the deadline.
