Given that the groundwork has already been laid since January, the only obstacle standing in their way is likely to be survival concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Even at age 32, Robertson&#8217;s contract makes sense.

With the futures of club captain Cristian Romero and centre-back partner Micky van de Ven in doubt, Spurs could forge a new long-term partnership between Scalvini and the returning Luka Vuskovic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>League Statistics P90 25\/26<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Scalvini<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>Vuskovi\u0107<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>minutes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>1,297<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2,250<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Duel victory<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>5.13<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>7.64<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>collect<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>4.86<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>4.36<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>tackle<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>2.22<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>0.84<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Completing the path<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>88.2%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>83.1%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>With the experienced Robertson alongside them, Scalvini and Vuskovi\u0107 could form the heartbeat of the De Zerbi era, and a much stronger one for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>The Atalanta man, described as an &#8220;outstanding player&#8221; by talent scout Jacek Kulig in February, also has the ability to step into midfield and could end up killing two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n<p>There would have been concerns about how Scalvini would return from a long-term injury, but he has since returned strong and firing on all cylinders.
