According to The Sun, De Zerbi pressured Tottenham Hotspur to remove luxury toiletries from the away dressing room to change the team's mentality.

Tottenham Hotspur's manager and club executives believe that opposing teams have viewed this world-class stadium more as a pleasant destination than as a threatening football venue.

This prompted Tottenham Hotspur to refurbish the away dressing room, and Molton Brown products are now banned. A video posted on social media by a fan showed all the central tables removed from the dressing room, creating more open space, with walls roughly repainted and shower products removed.

The Times reported, citing a source, that "there are no more Molton Brown hand wash and body lotion."

Tottenham Hotspur had a long partnership with Molton Brown, which was previously the club's official toiletries supplier, with products used at the stadium and training center.

This change is merely a symbol of the broader cultural shift De Zerbi has sought to implement since joining in March. The Italian manager has made clear that he wants players fully committed to Tottenham Hotspur. He is even willing to let star players leave if they wish to pursue new challenges.

The Sun revealed that when De Zerbi first arrived, he met individually with players to discuss their futures. Captain Cristian Romero and goalkeeper Vicarío both expressed their desire to leave in the summer.

De Zerbi's response was straightforward: first help Tottenham Hotspur stay in the Premier League, then he would help them leave. He later explained that he did not want to force anyone to stay, regardless of their status or importance to the team.

Romero eventually joined Atlético Madrid, and Vicarío was loaned to Juventus. De Zerbi emphasized that he respected their decision. Spence and Luka Bušković were also allowed to leave. Danjuma requested a move after being excluded from the League Cup squad last week, and Tottenham Hotspur granted his wish, loaning him to Sunderland.

This firm approach is central to De Zerbi's attempt to change Tottenham Hotspur's mentality. The team finished 17th in the Premier League for two consecutive years.

The club backed De Zerbi with a massive summer transfer rebuild, with approximately £400 million spent on squad overhaul, though the final figure could increase with add-ons.

These new signings were not chosen purely for their technical ability. Tottenham Hotspur deliberately sought to change dressing room culture by recruiting players with strong reputations for experience, leadership qualities, and the right mentality.

Tonali joined as the club's record transfer from Newcastle, while Fernández, Sávio, and Van de Ven were also significant signings. Experienced players Robertson and Sarr also joined the team, while Marmush was loaned to Manchester City.

Before the transfer deadline, Tottenham Hotspur completed two additional signings: permanent signing of Chelsea defender Adarabioyo and the loan arrival of Mudryk.

Adarabioyo is particularly noteworthy because he fits Tottenham Hotspur's current recruitment criteria. He is regarded as a player with strong team spirit, leadership experience, and willingness to embrace the new manager's standards.

The defender also emphasized the importance of mentality upon joining. He said he hopes to train with the right attitude every day and help Tottenham Hotspur move toward where it "should be."

However, despite the substantial investment and comprehensive changes, De Zerbi's revamped Tottenham Hotspur got off to a nightmarish start. Tottenham lost their first two matches to Brentford and Newcastle, and the Italian manager has much work to do. He must convert this new mentality into results.
