5.3 times per game – Tottenham top Premier League in impressive metric under De Zerbi

A very interesting stat perfectly encapsulates how Tottenham have transformed as a side since Roberto De Zerbi arrived through the door.

De Zerbi has made it clear from day one at Spurs that he favours possession-based football, and we have certainly seen a big change in the team’s style of play.

The new Tottenham boss has repeatedly emphasised that the spirit of the squad is more important than the style of play, given the situation the club find themselves in at the moment.
