Tottenham boss Roberto de Zerbi says his club's transfers bring "zero pressure" as he explained an argument with an Arsenal-supporting taxi driver. On Thursday, the Italian teased an unnamed "bomba" signing as he continues his pursuit of Manchester City attacker Savinho, having already spent a club record £237m in the transfer window. Having first broken the club record to sign Matheus Fernandes for £85m from West Ham, Spurs then broke it again days later by signing £100m midfielder Sandro Tonali from Newcastle.
