Meskipun tersingkir secara mengecewakan di babak semifinal Liga Champions oleh Paris Saint-Germain, Harry Kane tampaknya tetap berkomitmen pada masa depannya di Bayern Munich. Setelah kekalahan agregat 6-5 yang membuat kapten timnas Inggris itu tampak terharu, mantan penyerang Aston Villa Gabriel Agbonlahor menyatakan bahwa "tidak ada kemungkinan" bagi mantan penyerang Tottenham itu untuk kembali ke Liga Premier.
Pelatih kepala Tottenham Hotspur, Roberto De Zerbi, telah menegaskan niatnya terkait masa depan Joao Palhinha, dengan menyatakan bahwa ia ingin mempertahankan gelandang tersebut secara permanen. Pemain internasional Portugal yang dipinjamkan dari Bayern Munich ini telah menjadi bagian penting dari lini tengah Spurs sejak kedatangan pelatih asal Italia tersebut.
Jaap Stam mendesak Manchester United untuk merekrut Frenkie de Jong, sambil bercanda bahwa ia akan bersepeda ke Barcelona untuk membawa gelandang tersebut ke Old Trafford. Mantan bek itu juga menyarankan agar Micky van de Ven bisa memperkuat barisan pertahanan United.
Pelatih kepala tim nasional Kanada, Jesse Marsch, melontarkan serangan pedas terhadap manajer Tottenham Hotspur, Roberto De Zerbi, dengan menyebut pelatih asal Italia itu sebagai "orang yang benar-benar menyebalkan." Reaksi keras tersebut bermula dari perlakuan kontroversial De Zerbi terhadap gelandang Ismael Kone selama masa kerja sama singkat mereka di Marseille.
Gelandang Tottenham, Conor Gallagher, mengungkapkan dampak transformatif yang dibawa Roberto De Zerbi di klub tersebut sejak mengambil alih kendali pada musim yang penuh gejolak. Pemain internasional Inggris itu meyakini bahwa pendekatan unik sang pelatih asal Italia itulah yang menjadi katalisator bagi keberhasilan timnya baru-baru ini keluar dari zona degradasi Liga Premier.
