The Story in 60 Seconds

Former scout Mick Brown has urged Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi to fix the team's finishing troubles to protect his job. Despite spending over £300m in the summer, Spurs sit in the relegation zone and remain winless through their first six Premier League matches, having scored just three goals all season following a recent 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Brown argued that failing to convert positive play into goals could ultimately lead to De Zerbi being dismissed. Although the club hierarchy reportedly retains full confidence in the Italian manager, De Zerbi has scheduled a team-bonding trip to Marbella ahead of Tottenham's upcoming fixture against Coventry City to help resolve their attacking shortcomings.
