The Italian coach, who previously managed the 24-year-old at Marseille, is reportedly keen to reunite with him \u2014 but the Tottenham board remains hesitant due to fears of upsetting fans.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udca3 \ud835\udc04\ud835\udc17\ud835\udc02\ud835\udc0b\ud835\udc14\ud835\udc12\ud835\udc08\ud835\udc15\ud835\udc04: Tottenham are one of the clubs interested in Mason Greenwood.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi LOVES the player and believes he could become a key piece of his project at Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs Board are still not fully convinced as they do not want to make a decision that could\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vAwIfHZY6l\">pic.twitter.com\/vAwIfHZY6l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Touchline | \ud835\udc13 (@TouchlineX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TouchlineX\/status\/2053369446522343795?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Why the Link Makes Sense<\/h3>\n<p>De Zerbi worked closely with Greenwood in Ligue 1 and has publicly praised the forward\u2019s character and talent in the past.
