Nuno Espirito Santo learns four Tottenham transfer lessons from Colchester win

Express Sport chooses four transfer lessons that new Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo can learn from his side's 3-0 victory over Colchester United.

Nuno Espirito Santo earned the first victory of his Tottenham tenure as a strong Spurs side including Heung-min Son and Dele Alli defeated Colchester United 3-0.

Son was making his first appearances of pre-season having been granted an extended summer break and made a scoring return.

The 29-year-old tapped into an empty net after Steven Bergwijn unselfishly passed across goal when put one on one with goalkeeper Shamal George.

Lucas Moura glanced in a header soon after during a first-half hammering of the League Two side.

Dele then squeezed the third over the line before Nuno made a host of changes ahead of the second half.

The new head coach started his preparations for the 2021-22 campaign with a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient, so there might be a sense of relief that he has a first victory.

Spurs ended their chaotic search for Jose Mourinho's replacement by appointing Nuno last month, and he has several big decisions to make this summer.

Express Sport picks out four things that will help with his transfer plans.

Nuno needs to keep hold of Dele and offer him a frequent role

Dele’s stock has fallen drastically over the last two years, mostly due to a difficult relationship with Mourinho.

The 25-year-old appeared in 51 of Mourinho’s 86 matches in charge but many of those were as a substitute.

Paris Saint-Germain were linked with a January loan move for the England international but it failed to materialise.

Dele finally re-emerged under interim boss Ryan Mason, playing six times, and has started both of Nuno’s matches.

Scarlett, who bagged 17 goals in 16 games in the U18 Premier League last season, is capable of providing back-up to Kane. However, it is unlikely that he is ready to properly replace the England captain if he leaves.
