Brighton are said to be preparing themselves for a battle to keep hold of Roberto De Zerbi in the summer.

The manager, who took over from Graham Potter when the latter departed for Chelsea this season, has impressed with the Albion.

Now The Telegraph states that De Zerbi is already being eyed by Tottenham.

The London club believe he would be a good replacement for Antonio Conte, should the Italian move on in the summer.

However, Brighton would try their best to hold onto De Zerbi.

The issue for them is that other clubs will come into the mix, including Juventus and both Milan clubs.
