Tottenham Plans Marbella Camp After Manchester United Match

Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Marbella, Spain, for a team-bonding training camp after their Premier League match at Manchester United. Manager Roberto de Zerbi hopes the trip can improve squad unity following a difficult opening period. According to BBC, Tottenham are bottom of the table after starting the season without a win.

The team have collected two draws from five matches and are looking for a response before their next league fixture. The club will have nine days between the Manchester United match at Old Trafford and Monday's home game against newly promoted Coventry. According to BBC, the extended gap allows time for additional preparation.

De Zerbi is using the Marbella visit as an opportunity for his reshaped squad to build connections. According to BBC, the manager believes the warm-weather camp can help kick-start Tottenham's campaign.

The trip is unusual for this stage of the season, especially shortly after an international break. BBC reported that English clubs more commonly seek warmer locations during the winter period rather than early in the campaign. Tottenham invested more than £250m on new players during the summer transfer window. According to BBC, the club added 10 players to its squad as part of a major rebuild.

The arrival of several players late in the transfer window limited opportunities for the squad to develop together. BBC reported that Savio, Tosin Adarabioyo, Mykhailo Mudryk and Omar Marmoush joined in the final week of the window. The busy fixture schedule and the international break also reduced the time available for Tottenham's new-look group to train as a unit. The Marbella camp provides a dedicated period away from normal match demands.

Tottenham will return from Spain before facing Coventry at home on Monday. The match follows the team's Premier League meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
