Roberto De Zerbi has three Tottenham left-back options – but each comes with a problem (opinion)

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi faces a selection dilemma ahead of their Premier League clash with Chelsea, with senior left-backs Destiny Udogie and Andy Robertson both considered doubts due to knee and hamstring concerns. Saad Syed of Spurs Web highlights three potential alternatives to fill the position: Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, and Archie Gray.

Syed argues that none of the choices is simple, noting that moving Van de Ven from central defense sacrifices attacking quality, while Davies faces a difficult matchup against Chelsea winger Pedro Neto. Alternatively, Spurs Web suggests Gray could switch over to left-back, potentially allowing Jan Paul van Hecke to cover on the right side if Pedro Porro remains sidelined.
