Neal Maupay has expressed strong belief that Tottenham Hotspur will be a significantly improved side next season under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, while also opening up about his personal ambition to play in the Premier League once again.

The striker, currently away from the top flight of English football, made clear that he is keeping a close eye on developments at Tottenham Hotspur and holds high expectations for what De Zerbi can build at the club.

Maupay described having "big hopes" for Tottenham Hotspur heading into the new campaign, pointing to the arrival of De Zerbi as a key reason for his optimism. The Italian coach, known for his attacking football philosophy, is widely regarded as one of the more exciting managerial appointments in European football.

Beyond his interest in Tottenham Hotspur's prospects, Maupay was candid about his own career ambitions — stating that a return to the Premier League remains a clear goal for him. The striker has previous experience in English football and is eager to compete at that level again.

Whether Maupay's path back to the Premier League leads him to Tottenham Hotspur or elsewhere remains to be seen, but his admiration for De Zerbi's project at the club adds an intriguing dimension to his stated ambitions.
