Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that three players have requested to leave the club ahead of the transfer deadline. The trio—Richarlison, Kevin Danso, and Pape Matar Sarr—expressed their desire to move on following Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle. De Zerbi stated that the players are determined to force a transfer within the next few days.

The news comes as Tottenham, who spent over £300 million in the summer, find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League with no points or goals to show. Despite the poor start, De Zerbi remains optimistic about the team’s future. The manager emphasized that the club is focused on addressing the current challenges and improving performance.

Richarlison, who has one year left on his contract, is among those seeking a move. His absence from the match against Newcastle was noted, adding to concerns about the team’s depth. Meanwhile, other players like Mohammed Kudus returned to action after a long injury layoff, but the squad’s struggles continue.

The club is now under pressure to make strategic decisions ahead of the transfer window. De Zerbi’s comments highlight the internal challenges as Tottenham tries to recover from a difficult start to the season.
