Spurs Continue to Flounder as Newcastle Claim the Spoils
- On Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United, extending the club's scoreless streak to two matches and marking their worst Premier League season opening in 52 years.
- Coach Roberto De Zerbi oversaw a $406 million squad overhaul this summer to improve a team that finished 17th in consecutive seasons; the Londoners have signed eight players seeking to establish cohesion.
- Admitting that "you can't buy mentality in the transfer market," De Zerbi insisted he retains confidence in his players while describing the rebuild as a "great project" intended to change the last two seasons.
- Newcastle United maintains an unbeaten start under new coach Matthias Jaissle, with midfielder Nico Gonzalez impressing on debut while Wissa noted remaining players "have to step up" following significant departures.
- With the transfer window closing September 1, De Zerbi hopes to secure one final signing; reports link Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo to the club as the coach seeks additional recruits to address current failings.
