Tottenham have already made a significant signing, bringing in Savinho for a reported £75m. The Italian midfielder is expected to play a crucial role in the team's midfield, alongside James Maddison. De Zerbi's approach to team bonding is a departure from the more formal team-building exercises often associated with football teams. By getting the players to relax and socialise over a few beers, he is creating a more informal atmosphere that can help to build trust and camaraderie among the players.
Tottenham's new signings, including Savinho, will be looking to make an impact in the new season. With a strong midfield and a more cohesive team, the Spurs will be hoping to climb the Premier League table.
