Despite spending a huge amount on transfers, Tottenham has fallen into a slump of three consecutive scoreless draws and losses after the season opener. A goalless start in the first three matches is a first for the club since 1974, 52 years ago.

Tottenham recorded one draw and two losses (one point) after drawing 0-0 against Nottingham Forest in the third round of the English Premier League (EPL) on the 6th, following defeats to Brentford (0-3) and Newcastle United (0-2). In particular, during the match against Nottingham Forest, they attempted 11 shots but recorded zero on target.

Tottenham, which barely avoided relegation by finishing 17th in each of the past two consecutive seasons, has undertaken a massive rebuild this summer to turn things around under manager Roberto De Zerbi. To fill the void left by Son Heung-min, who left for LAFC last season, the club poured approximately 400 million pounds (about 730 billion won) into signing more than 10 players, including Omar Marmoush, Savio, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Sandro Tonali.

However, despite the storm of new signings, they have yet to show any effect. Savio, who cost a fortune, is struggling to adapt to the league, while Mudryk, making his first competitive appearance in two years, has significantly lost his match sharpness. Marmoush, brought in as a starting striker, also faces questions regarding how he will be utilized. The UK outlet 'GiveMeSport' strongly criticized the squad's completeness, stating, "Tottenham has the worst attack among the EPL Big 6 despite spending a huge amount of money."

However, manager De Zerbi is maintaining a relatively calm attitude. Immediately after the match against Nottingham Forest, he stated, "We could have scored three or four goals and played well," adding, "We need better decision-making and composure in the attacking area, but for now, this is the right way forward."

Despite the massive investment, the void left by Son Heung-min, the club's savior, appears to be highlighted even more. Tottenham currently sits 18th out of 20 teams. If they cannot quickly improve their attacking organization, it is expected that they will struggle to avoid a difficult relegation battle this season as well.
