Tottenham are looking to complete "another bomba" transfer, says head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who described himself "like a shark" when looking to complete the signing of a desired player.
Spurs have been very active in the market this summer, breaking their transfer record twice when signing Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million ($113.7m) and then Sandro Tonali from Newcastle in a deal that could end up being worth as much as £100m ($133.8m).
Jan Paul van Hecke has also arrived from Brighton, while Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have also joined on free transfers. Spurs have also been linked with a deal to bring in Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City.
"Bomba" is a term frequently used by fans on social media for a sudden or unexpected transfer signing.

"We have completed 60% of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bomba."
When asked if the "bomba" was close to being completed, De Zerbi said: "I hope, but it's not finished, for sure."

"In the transfer market, when I want one player, I become like a shark," De Zerbi later added. "No chance to say no.
"I love working in the transfer market. It's not pressure, it's one of the nicest parts of my work, my job."
