Journalist Michel Bridge has said on Sky Sports’ Football Daily that as many as eight first-team players could leave Tottenham Hotspur before the September 2 deadline.
Ange Postecoglou himself made it clear last week that Spurs cannot afford to keep adding new players before getting some out of the door first, given the bloated nature of their squad (Football London).
It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Tottenham are prioritising offloading some unwanted players, and that was a point that was re-iterated by Ben Jacobs during his appearance on the Last Word on Spurs podcast on Wednesday.
The journalist stated that while Spurs ideally want to offload the likes of Japhet Tanganga, Sergio Reguilon and Djed Spence permanently, they might be forced to consider loaning them out since there have only been enquiries about temporary deals for those players so far.
Eight players in the shop window for Tottenham
Apart from the aforementioned three, Bridge has now named Hugo Lloris, Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele as among those who are currently in the shop window.
The journalist further added that the Lilywhites are also listening to offers for Eric Dier, who has one year left on his contract while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is open to leaving if a suitable bid arrives.
Spurs Web Opinion
Much like last summer, Tottenham would likely be forced to accept loan moves for many of these players.
The problem for Spurs is that many of these players are attracting interest from Italy, Spain and France, and the reality is that most Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 sides are not in a position to pay any transfer fee.
So, unless any of the eight agree to head to Turkey, Russia or Saudi Arabia, it is going be hard for Tottenham to recoup any money for them.
