# Tottenham could sign Roberto De Zerbi favourite as a ‘market opportunity’

**Tottenham Hotspur made ten new signings during the summer transfer window to bolster their squad under Roberto De Zerbi.**

It hasn’t changed their fortunes, though, as they find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings.

Nevertheless, they continue to be linked with players across the Premier League as that seems to be the name of the game.

[Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis](https://readtottenham.com/2026/10/01/tottenham-want-premier-league-goalkeeper-to-replace-antonin-kinsky/) has keen admirers at Tottenham as they aim to provide cover and competition for Antonin Kinsky.

And now, if reports are to be believed, Brighton frontman Kaoru Mitoma is also emerging as an option for De Zerbi.

## Tottenham want to sign Kaoru Mitoma

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/de-zerbi-seeking-kaoru-mitoma-tottenham-reunion-brighton-contract-talks-stall) report that Mitoma could emerge as a market opportunity for Tottenham as his current deal with Brighton expires in 2027.

The versatile winger, who knows De Zerbi quite well, is yet to sign a new deal, so Brighton could be forced to sell him in January.

An excerpt from the article reads, “With only 91 days remaining once the January window opens, Brighton face the familiar choice of selling at a reduced fee or risking losing a key asset for nothing, and with Tottenham and Liverpool both monitoring the situation carefully, though they are far from the only clubs keen.”

Mitoma knows De Zerbi quite well and if he’s available for a cut-price fee, it could be a deal worth doing for Tottenham as he can play on both flanks.
