Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that he is a big fan of a Tottenham Hotspur star who is yet to play a single competitive minute under him.Several senior Tottenham stars could exit the club in the remaining weeks of the window, as the Lilywhites look to put the finishing touches to the squad ahead of his first season in charge.That includes Richarlison, who continues to be linked with a move away from Spurs despite ending last season as the club’s top goalscorer.De Zerbi is not confident that the Brazilian will remain at Tottenham for the upcoming season, but he is sure that his fellow striker will remain at N17.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramTottenham boss is a big fan of ‘complete’ striker Dominic SolankeSpurs are continuing to scour the market for a new number nine, but De Zerbi has confirmed that Dominic Solanke is going nowhere.The Italian insisted that there are not too many better number nines in the Premier League and backed him to score 20 league goals in the upcoming season.When asked about the former Bournemouth man, De Zerbi told Football.London: “I like him as a player, I like him as a guy. There are not many strikers better than Dom Solanke in the Premier League. I think he changes the quality of performances depending on the confidence he feels. First of all, we have to finish the transfer market, and then we speak better about Solanke.“Anyway, I want to keep him, because I like him as a player, he’s complete as a striker. He can attack the space, he can cover the ball, he’s able with the ball to link, he’s able to score 15-20 goals in the Premier League.”De Zerbi wants even established Spurs stars to prove that they belongThe Italian made it clear that the competition for places to get into his starting eleven will be intense during the upcoming campaign.He suggested that everyone, including important players like Micky van de Ven, has to prove themselves every day.The 46-year-old added: “Last season is finished and now every one of us, me, the first, I have to show I’m good enough to stay at Tottenham every day. The players, also. n Micky van de Ven also. I want Micky as a midfielder at the back: with the ball, with the personality to control the situation.“We have two Dutchmen (Van de Ven and Van Hecke), but we have [Marcos] Senesi, Ben Davies and Kevin [Danso], five top players. I decide the first XI, it depends on what I see on the pitch and training.”READ MORE: Everything we know about Tottenham’s latest moves to sign Savinho, including deadline threatThe post De Zerbi says Tottenham have one of the best strikers in the Premier League appeared first on Spurs Web.
