The Italian put pen to paper on a five-year contract at the north London outfit earlier this week to succeed Igor Tudor, with Spurs embroiled in a relegation battle with only seven Premier League fixtures remaining this season.‌With Spurs positioned 17th in the standings and merely one point and one place above West Ham, De Zerbi has been tasked with injecting fresh impetus into the struggling squad - and the clock is ticking.‌But if Danny Welbeck's assessment is any indication, De Zerbi possesses the ability to swiftly introduce renewed vigour and vision, having achieved precisely that during his spell at Brighton.‌The Seagulls striker previously discussed the start of the Italian's tenure at the club and disclosed he was immediately impressive. The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker told ESPN: "Straight away from day one he's been impressive with his charisma and his passion for the game."He's got an eye for fine detail, with every single pass and movement. He's really improved a lot of players - he gives everybody the opportunity to get on the pitch and show what they can do.READ MORE: 'I played for Tottenham and Roberto De Zerbi – this is what my former club can expect'READ MORE: Roberto De Zerbi confirms he'll STAY at Tottenham even if Spurs get relegatedJOIN US ON FACEBOOK!
