Despite Tottenham's statement summer, the Lilywhites got off to their worst start of a Premier League season ever, picking up just 2 points in their first 5 matches and scoring 0 goals in their first four, leaving the English giants at the bottom of the table.

Turning Point at Old Trafford

This run looked to continue at Old Trafford against Manchester United, with Spurs 1-0 down due to Bryan Mbeumo's sharp left-footed finish into the bottom right corner in the 73rd minute. Things went from bad to worse when, 5 minutes later, Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for a headbutt on Luke Shaw.

However, ten-man Spurs fought back and salvaged a point through Dominic Solanke's 92nd-minute header, which was guided past Senne Lammens.

While it wasn't a win for Spurs, with 3 points in their last 6 games, it proved to be a turning point for Roberto De Zerbi's side as they went on to win their next three games, including a historic win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for just the second time in 36 years, when Terry Venables' Tottenham side won 2-1 at the Bridge.

New Summer Arrivals Ratings

Mateus Fernandes - 8/10

One of the biggest summer sagas came to an end when Tottenham broke their transfer record at the time to beat Manchester United to the signature of Mateus Fernandes for £85m from recently relegated London rivals West Ham United. Fernandes had a slow start for the Lilywhites despite a promising pre-season.

The 22-year-old struggled to break into the starting 11 in the first few games due to his initial performances. However, much like the team, the Portuguese midfielder really started to prove himself when dropped from a "10" role into an "8" in a pivot alongside another new signing, Sandro Tonali.

Overall, I think the young, talented midfielder has shown why he can be the face of Spurs' midfield for years to come.

Sandro Tonali - 8/10

Just 4 days after Tottenham smashed their transfer record announcing Mateus Fernandes, they did it again, splashing £100m on Italian engine Sandro Tonali. The 26-year-old has become an established Premier League midfielder at Newcastle United over the last three years after being pushed out the door at his boyhood club, AC Milan.

He caught the eye of some Premier League legends during his stint at Newcastle, with 11-time Premier League winner Paul Scholes claiming he is "the best midfielder in the league."

Tonali continued his superb form when joining the North London side, consistently putting in big performances alongside the previously mentioned Mateus Fernandes. He also managed to grab an assist for Solanke's goal against Manchester United to secure a point.

Jan Paul Van Hecke - 9/10

Jan Paul Van Hecke was one of Tottenham's first moves of the summer with the impending departure of then club captain Cristian Romero. Spurs managed to secure the signature of the Dutchman for £52m from Brighton and Hove Albion, with young superstar Luka Vušković going the other way for a similar fee later in the window. De Zerbi previously worked alongside Van Hecke, with the centre-back describing his new gaffer as a "father figure."

The 26-year-old has got off to a flying start in his new colours after a shaky first game in a 3-0 defeat to Brentford. Van Hecke has managed to keep 4 clean sheets so far this season alongside his Dutch teammate and new defensive partner Micky Van de Ven.

From defence, he has also managed to claim the title of Tottenham's top goal scorer in the Premier League so far this season, scoring two goals and proving a real aerial threat.

Savio - 6/10

The Brazilian finally got his move to Tottenham after a year of strong interest and hints from the former Manchester City winger, making him a fan favourite early on. The 22-year-old got off to the best start possible in a 5-1 win against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup just days after signing, scoring a goal and picking up an assist in his first 20 minutes after coming on as a substitute.

However, since that performance, Savio has struggled for fitness, managing to play just 4 of a possible 10 Premier League matches. A 6 is a little harsh, as when he plays Savio looks the brightest on the pitch, but it is too early to tell, with availability being the best ability.

Omar Marmoush - 5/10

The Egyptian attacker joined Tottenham on a loan with a mandatory buy clause if certain milestones are hit. He arrived within the same week as Savio, both from Manchester City, although right now he has failed to live up to the expectations put on his arrival.

The pacey attacker has managed to score one goal so far for Tottenham, with an important goal against Coventry City where he shrugged off the defender and wrapped it into the top right corner past young keeper Carl Rushworth, who could only get fingertips on it. While it hasn't been a long time and he is showing hints of his ability, Marmoush's numbers simply have not lived up to the expectations at this stage.

Andy Robertson - 6/10

Despite heavy interest from Spurs in January, Andy Robertson stayed at Liverpool and saw out the remainder of his contract at the club where he spent the majority of his career. Eager for a new challenge, the decorated full-back joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer in the summer.

While not a flashy signing, Robertson is a great signing to raise the standards within the club after back-to-back 17th place finishes in the Premier League for Tottenham.

The Scotsman has not been a standout for Spurs so far this season but is proving to be a great signing on a free transfer, with the left-back putting in consistent and solid performances, especially with the common absence of injury-ridden Destiny Udogie.

Marcos Senesi - 6/10

The Argentine defender joined Tottenham at the end of his contract after a standout season for Bournemouth. Senesi was arguably one of the best centre-backs in the league last season, leaving many questioning why he would join Spurs and not be guaranteed game time every match.

These questions have proved to be valid so far, with the 29-year-old stepping up when he has been needed but not playing every game. However, despite not playing every game, Senesi has stepped up to the plate, putting in solid performances whenever he has been needed for Roberto De Zerbi's side.

Tosin Adarabioyo - 6/10

Much like Senesi, Tosin joined Tottenham on Deadline Day as a backup to high-flying Jan Paul Van Hecke. The centre-back joined from fierce rivals Chelsea for a reported £5m. The Englishman has also stepped up to the plate when needed, which is a massive help to manager De Zerbi, who can trust his players when he wants to rotate the team.

Tottenham have had long-standing interest in the 29-year-old, having tried to sign him at the end of his contract at Fulham before being beaten to the signature by Chelsea.

Mykhailo Mudryk - 2/10

Off the back of a 20-month ban from football, Mudryk came back to Chelsea ready to play again. However, without a place in the squad for him, the Ukrainian made the move to Tottenham Hotspur on Deadline Day alongside his other Chelsea teammate, Tosin.

De Zerbi previously managed Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk, where the winger was at his best. After a deal for Iliman Ndiaye fell through, the Italian manager turned to his former winger as a backup and brought him in on loan with an option to buy for a staggering £75m.

Unfortunately, the flashy winger has only managed to feature once off the bench, in a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest, as after the game news came out of an injury for the player, who is yet to return.

Martin Dúbravka - 7/10

Dúbravka joined Tottenham on a free this summer after leaving Burnley following the expiry of his contract. The Slovakian goalkeeper was signed to serve as backup to number 1 Antonín Kinský, who has a great relationship with the new keeper, who grew up in a similar area.

The 37-year-old has made one appearance for Tottenham so far this season, in a humbling 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.

Despite not being the most exciting of signings, the player has settled in really well and has become a great mentor to Kinský.
