Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has revealed that three Spurs players want to leave the club before the transfer window slams shut.
Despite spending £382 million on new additions this summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles persist this season.
The Lilywhites have failed to secure a victory in their opening two league games and now find themselves rock bottom of the Premier League table.
Spurs’ latest defeat came at the hands of Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the Magpies securing a 2-0 win over De Zerbi’s men.
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi names three players pushing to leave
Tottenham are expected to remain active in the transfer market with a few days left, according to De Zerbi, with one extra signing being tipped.
However, it is not just new additions, as several players could still depart north London before the summer transfer window slams shut.
Roberto De Zerbi, speaking to football.london, has now named the three Spurs stars who are actively pushing for a move.
The Tottenham boss revealed that Richarlison, Kevin Danso and Pape Matar Sarr have all expressed their desire to leave the club, with each player having made their position clear to De Zerbi.
He told football.london: “Richarlison he said too many times that he wanted to leave. Danso came to me two days ago and said he wanted to leave. Sarr the same but he also suffered a small injury but he is almost ready to train.”
Sarr and Richarlison look most likely to leave Spurs
Sarr and Richarlison have been attracting interest this summer, and exits might not be too far off for the pair.
Everton are interested in Richarlison and could make a move for the centre-forward in the coming days, with Spurs valuing the Brazilian at £40million.
As for Sarr, interest is plentiful, with a host of clubs across Europe, the Premier League and the Middle East keen on his signature. Monaco have shown interest in Sarr, and so have Brentford, Aston Villa and Al Ahli in recent weeks.
Tottenham also rejected a loan bid for Danso from Sunderland earlier this week after already parting with Cristian Romero and Luka Vuskovic.
