Five players likely to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer - and 13 who won’t
With Tottenham landing Champions League football next season, it’s set to be a busy summer in N17 with Antonio Conte at the helm.
Every summer is arguably huge for each football club, as changes are made to the playing squad to try and achieve more the coming year.
But in particular this looks like a very important summer for Tottenham Hotspur, after securing Champions League football.
Antonio Conte looks set to stay, and has been vocal about freshening up the squad.
No doubt there will be speculation around the future of talisman Harry Kane too, who will now have just two years left of his contract to run, with an extension unlikely as it stands.
Managing director of football Fabio Paratici has a tough task ahead of him, as he looks to bring in some six players or more to placate Conte and rebuild the Spurs playing squad.
Here’s a look at what we expect to happen this summer, with those to stay and go.

6. Japhet Tanganga - possible
The homegrown product probably has a longer-term future at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, but he would benefit from a loan and more regular starts, if the right club could be found.

7. Giovani Lo Celso - likely
A deal is already in the pipeline, according to reports, to see the Argentine head to Villarreal permanently this summer. (Photo by Gualter Fatia/Getty Images)
8. Tanguy Ndombele - likely
Lyon will not take up their option to buy the player this summer and Spurs will look to offload the 25-year-old, who has flopped in the Premier League. But can a buyer be found? (Photo by Alex Davidson/Getty Images)
