Tottenham tried to copy what Mikel Arteta did at Arsenal and it has backfired massively

Tottenham Hotspur's difficult start to the Premier League season continued with a 3-2 home defeat against Aston Villa. The loss leaves Tottenham in 18th place in the table after five matches, despite the club spending approximately £350 million during the summer transfer window.

The club's summer recruitment included signing Savinho from Manchester City for £85 million and Omar Marmoush on an initial loan with a £60 million obligation to buy. The signings have been compared to Arsenal's 2022 acquisitions of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, though the new Tottenham players have reportedly made little impact so far.
