It seems Spurs was also interested in Ayari but he chose Brighton because of de Zerbi. He speaks very highly of de Zerbi!

Happy for seeing his first game. He apparently has hot blood and big balls. Seemed to need some work before his PL debut but he could be another gem from the scout team!
I hope he gets some minutes soon as he seems promising from what I have read. Caicedo should have some rest. Maybe against Grimsby Town we can see him play?
