Five players who Pochettino must sell as part of his Spurs project

Mauricio Pochettino has spoken about his desire to take Tottenham Hotspur to the next level and after he signed a new five-year deal contract extension, we’ve been thinking about which players need to move on in the summer.

You would have to assume that Poch has had assurances from chairman Daniel Levy that he is prepared to back the manager in the summer transfer window, despite the fact we are spending in excess of £850 million on the new stadium and he turned down the opportunity to manage Real Madrid.

Below, we have highlighted five players that need to be shipped out of Spurs in order for us to bring some world class players in to complement what we already have and try and compete with the likes of Manchester City both domestically and in the Champions League.

Tottenham managed to beat Chelsea to the signature of the former Juventus forward last summer and after a decent campaign at Swansea, it looked as if we had landed a striker who has happy to play a bit-part and chip in with a few goals to take the burden off Harry Kane. However, his lack of pace and mobility means that he doesn’t fit our style – we need someone who can offer more in the final third.
