The summer transfer window looms, and for Tottenham Hotspur, a squad overhaul is on the horizon, with several players likely to be shown the door. Let’s predict our ten potential summer exits for Spurs.
The summer window is edging closer, and as things stand, the futures of several Tottenham players hang in the balance.
Some have struggled to meet the required standard, while others have found themselves surplus to requirements. A refresh is not just necessary—it is inevitable.
Of course, the Lilywhites have endured a turbulent season, slipping out of both domestic competitions and failing to mount a sustained challenge in the league.
With their hopes now resting solely on the Europa League, Ange Postecoglou faces a defining moment.
Win it, and he may keep his job. Lose, and the axe could fall. Regardless of who is in charge next season, though, certain players are almost certain to depart.
The following names have been under scrutiny, with performances, contracts, and injuries all playing a part in their uncertain futures. Here are the ten players who could be heading for the exit.
Potential Tottenham departures: Who is on the chopping block?
Alejo Veliz is dropping down the Tottenham pecking order
The Argentine striker arrived two summers ago but has failed to make any significant impact. He has started just eight matches for Spurs and has been sent out on loan multiple times.
His current loan spell has been equally underwhelming, with just one league goal in 20 appearances. If a reasonable offer comes in, Tottenham could be inclined to cut their losses.
Bryan Gil needs to leave on a permanent deal
Gil was loaned out last summer in the hope of rebuilding his reputation, and to an extent, he has succeeded. The Spaniard has notched four goals and three assists in 31 appearances for Girona, boosting his stock. However, with his contract entering its final year and having been loaned out three seasons in a row, Spurs are likely to cash in.
Manor Solomon will likely move to Leeds United
Despite a slow start to his loan spell at Leeds United, Solomon has grown into his role, winning over the Elland Road faithful. If Leeds secure promotion, they could make a bid to sign him permanently. Given Tottenham’s depth in wide areas, it would make sense to sell if a suitable offer arrives.
Richarlison needs a fresh challenge away from Tottenham
The Brazilian’s time in north London has been marred by injuries. Now turning 28 in May, he has started just two Premier League games this season, scoring three goals in 12 appearances.
Since his £60 million move from Everton in 2022, he has started only 32 league games. The talent is clear, but his availability is a major concern. With two years left on his contract, Spurs may decide to move him on if a solid bid is tabled.
Timo Werner will not return on loan at Tottenham
The German’s time at Spurs has been disappointing. Having failed to make any real impact, Werner has now been omitted from Tottenham’s Europa League squad. With his loan from RB Leipzig set to expire, there is no chance of Tottenham making the move permanent.
Sergio Reguilon deserves a fresh start
Reguilón’s time at Spurs has been on borrowed time for a while. The Spaniard played a small but appreciated role during the club’s injury crisis but is firmly out of the picture. His contract expires this summer, and he will almost certainly leave.
Yves Bissouma is likely to be a big-name departure at Spurs
Once viewed as a key player, Bissouma now finds himself slipping down the pecking order. With Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Pape Matar Sarr all ahead of him, his game time has dwindled.
Spurs also have the option to sign Cardoso for £21 million this summer, further hinting at Bissouma’s likely departure. With his contract winding down, Tottenham may look to move him on rather than risk losing him for free.
Fraser Forster could see his Spurs contract run down
The veteran goalkeeper is out of contract in a few months, and there are no signs of an extension. Spurs have already lined up their replacements, with Kinsky and Brandon Austin, while loanee Josh Keeley continues to impress. Forster has not even made the bench in recent weeks—his time in north London appears to be up.
Alfie Whiteman needs first-team football
Similar to Forster, Whiteman’s future looks bleak. The 26-year-old has spent years as an understudy but has barely featured. With his contract also expiring, Spurs must decide whether to renew or let him leave.
His departure would leave just one club-trained senior player eligible for European squads, though with Spurs’ European status uncertain, that may not be an issue.
Cristian Romero would be a huge Tottenham loss
Perhaps the biggest name on the list, Romero’s future is uncertain. Romero has been linked with Real Madrid, and unless he commits to a new contract, speculation will only intensify.
Spurs made a move for Marc Guéhi in the winter, possibly as a contingency plan. If Tottenham fail to secure European football, keeping Romero could prove difficult.
