[p]With more than £300 million ($407 million) spent in ‌the summer transfer window and a forward line upgraded in spectacular fashion in the last week with ‌the capture of Savio and Omar Marmoush from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a], his wish ‌has been granted.[/p][p]A humbling opening-day 3-0 loss at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brentford/xYe7DwID/"]Brentford[/a] last week showed that vast expenditure ‌is no guarantee for instant results, but speaking ahead of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/newcastle-p6ahwuwJ/tottenham-UDg08Ohm/?mid=ry1ouThf"]Saturday's home game[/a] ‌against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/newcastle-utd/p6ahwuwJ/"]Newcastle United[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/de-zerbi-roberto/pYizckpN/"]De Zerbi[/a] expressed his satisfaction and said more business could still be done.[/p][p][b]"I didn't expect a transfer window like we have done,"[/b] De Zerbi, who arrived with seven games ‌to go last season and with the club heading ⁠towards relegation, told reporters.[/p][p][b]"I think we ‌can do one player more in one specific position.

Another great player. Everyone of us love him as a player and we hope he can do what he ‌is able to,"[/b] De Zerbi said of Marmoush.[/p][p]"He can give us more solutions in attack.
