Tottenham have undergone radical change over the past 12 months amid understandable fan anger, with new chief executive Vinai Venkatesham leading the organisation on behalf of the Lewis Family Trust.
Venkatesham, alongside technical director Johan Lange, is leading negotiations. Lange is the only senior figure from the previous regime to remain in post.
They are supported by director of football operations Rafi Moersen and new performance director Dan Lewindon, both of whom arrived from Manchester City's parent company, City Football Group.
Lewindon has been tasked with improving Spurs' injury record.
But Roberto de Zerbi is hands on in all areas of the club and says: "In the transfer market, when I want one player, I become like a shark. There is no chance to say no."

Tottenham’s search for a new sporting director has been paused.
Spurs hired Fabio Paratici last October to work alongside Johan Lange in a dual sporting director structure, but the Italian left the Premier League club in February to return to Italy for personal reasons.
The search will now continue at the end of the summer transfer window, according to minutes from a recent Fan Advisory Board (FAB) meeting.
Another sporting director was set to be brought in this summer, but during a meeting with FAB on June 16, chief executive Vinai Venkatesham confirmed it was no longer a key priority.
Lange, head coach Roberto De Zerbi and Rafi Moersen, who has joined as director of football operations, are leading the club’s recruitment this transfer window.

Newcastle have finished above Tottenham in the Premier League in three of the past four seasons. However, Spurs are still a long way clear of the Magpies in the revenue table thanks to substantial off-field income streams, which have offset difficult league campaigns.
In the respective clubs' most recent financial accounts, the Londoners generated £230m more in revenue than Newcastle.
Spurs are now looking to make the most of such headroom by raising their salary ceiling.
In an interview with BBC Sport, in May, the club's chief executive Vinai Venkatesham confirmed the change in approach and said they needed "experience, leadership and also that kind of physical robustness".
Sandro Tonali fits this description on his day.
