There may have been scenes of celebration at full-time at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Stadium after De Zerbi’s side avoided relegation on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n

But there was a recognition internally that the club must never find themselves in such a dire position again.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Vinai Venkatesham vowed “change is happening” in an interview with BBC Sport in May, and there has certainly been a shift in approach.<\/p>\n

Spurs have already spent \u00a352m on defender Jan Paul van Hecke<\/a>, which would have been unimaginable once upon a time, given he had just one year left on his contract at Brighton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They have also looked to capitalise on their revenue by adapting their wage structure, and signed Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers before the window even officially opened.<\/p>\n

Although Spurs’ opening gambit was unsuccessful, this approach for Tonali also marks a shift for a club who have never spent more than the \u00a365m deal for Dominic Solanke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it was rather telling that the bid was swiftly rejected by Newcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a week when Newcastle<\/a> lost out to Liverpool<\/a> in the race to sign Spain winger Victor Munoz, it would have been damning if Spurs succeeded with their opening bid for Tonali.<\/p>\n

It is clearly going to take a great deal more to tempt Newcastle<\/a> to cash in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There may have been scenes of celebration at full-time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after De Zerbi’s side avoided…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-510285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
