It has been an extremely busy transfer window for Tottenham, who have made wholesale changes to their squad after escaping relegation by the skin of their teeth last season.
Spurs have been one of the busiest clubs across Europe this summer, managing to complete a full squad rebuild in a single window.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men have bought 10 new players through the door, with Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo being the final two players to arrive on deadline day.
The Lilywhites have also let go of 12 players, with Kevin Danso and Pape Sarr being the final ones out of the door on Tuesday.
Tottenham’s predicted 25-man Premier League squad
Tottenham have 18 non-homegrown players in their squad, one more than permitted by the Premier League, which means that one non-homegrown player is likely to miss out.
De Zerbi indicated last week that Xavi Simons may be out of action until March or April of next year, which means that he is the likely candidate to be left out.
Here is Tottenham’s expected 25-man Premier League squad for the first half of the season (‘HG’ signals homegrown):
- 1 Antonin Kinsky
- 2 Martin Dubravka
- 3 Andy Robertson
- 4 Pedro Porro
- 5 Destiny Udogie
- 6 Micky van de Ven
- 7 Marcos Senesi
- 8 Jan Paul van Hecke
- 9 Mateus Fernandes
- 10 Sandro Tonali
- 11 Rodrigo Bentancur
- 12 Dejan Kulusevski
- 13 Richarlison
- 14 Mohammed Kudus
- 15 Mykhailo Mudryk
- 16 Savio
- 17 Omar Marmoush
- 18 Dominic Solanke (HG)
- 19 Tosin Adarabioyo (HG)
- 20 Brandon Austin (HG)
- 21 Ben Davies (HG)
- 22 James Maddison (HG)
- 23 Conor Gallagher (HG)
- 24 Wilson Odobert (HG)
- 25 Archie Gray (HG)
Mathys Tel and Lucas Bergvall are set to go into the U21 list, with clubs permitted to use an unlimited number of U21 players across the campaign.
One change possible in Spurs’ squad list as Richarlison faces uncertain future
Richarlison’s future at Tottenham remains up in the air after the Brazilian had a sensational outburst on social media, seemingly directed at the fans.
Richarlison could still leave Spurs, with the transfer window open for Turkish clubs until September 4 and for Saudi Arabian clubs until October 12.
If the 29-year-old striker does depart Hotspur Way, one would expect Xavi Simons to be named in the Premier League squad for the first half of the season even though the attacking midfielder is not close to a return.
