‘Not good enough’ – De Zerbi admits Tottenham player is struggling for confidence

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that striker Dom Solanke is struggling for confidence following the team's 3-2 home defeat against Aston Villa. The loss leaves Tottenham in the Premier League relegation zone. Solanke started in attack alongside Savio and Omar Marmoush but struggled to make an impact before being defended by his manager after the match.

De Zerbi stated that Solanke's physical condition is currently not good enough and acknowledged his lack of confidence. However, the manager reiterated his support for the England international, emphasizing that Solanke remains a key player who needs to improve. Aston Villa secured the win with goals from Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson, and Emi Buendia, while Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke scored late consolation goals for Tottenham.
