Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that three senior Tottenham men, who all had strong ends to the season, are part of his plans going forward.While Sunday was a celebratory occasion for Tottenham, who avoided the ultimate disaster by the skin of their teeth, the time has now come to reflect on just how the Lilywhites manage to get themselves into such a perilous position.The supporters will want to see accountability and steps taken to ensure the situation does not repeat itself.Roberto De Zerbi has already stressed the need for a rebuild this summer, and the Tottenham boss has now shed light on who he wants to stay.Photo by Adrian Dennis / AFP via Getty ImagesRoberto De Zerbi wants to keep senior midfield trio at TottenhamWhile the selections in defence, goal and upfront were straightforward for De Zerbi due to Tottenham’s injury issues, it is in midfield where the Italian decided to go against what some may have expected him to do.He overlooked youthful exuberance in favour of experienced performers, with Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur and Conor Gallagher all stepping up, and the 46-year-old has now confirmed that he wants all three players to stay.When asked if he wants to keep Palhinha at Tottenham, De Zerbi said (via Football.London): “Yes, I would like to keep him 100%. We have to start from these people, before to speak about the players, we have to speak about the people.“And we have to start. Then, I can’t give the place for everyone in the first eleven. Because I want to build two players in each position. But for sure, I would like him to stay with me. Like Conor Gallagher and Bentancur, the same.”Will Lucas Bervgval and Archie Gray get more opportunities next season?One can understand why De Zerbi decided to lean on experience over youth, given the pressures involved in a relegation battle.However, there is no doubt that one of the stories of the season has been the growth of Archie Gray, who has swept Tottenham’s end-of-season awards.Both he and Lucas Bergvall will likely have a much bigger part to play next season, with the pair having the quality on the ball to thrive in De Zerbi’s system.READ MORE: Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven reveals what he did when he heard West Ham were winningThe post Roberto De Zerbi names three Tottenham players he definitely wants to keep this summer appeared first on Spurs Web.
