“De Zerbi is a top-class coach. He likes attacking football, he likes build-up play, and I really like that. I hope we’ll work well together in the future.”

The towering defender’s comments come at a crucial time as he returns from a highly successful loan spell at Hamburger SV and prepares for pre-season under the Italian tactician.

• Dominated the 2. Bundesliga
• Won Player of the Season honours
• Scored 6 goalsin 30 appearances
• Saw his market value skyrocket to €60 million

Despite strong interest from clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, indications point toward him staying at Tottenham, with the club reportedly planning a new contract and integration into the first team.

He has also ruled out an immediate return to HSV, despite the emotional pull of potentially playing alongside his brother Mario.
