Our Tottenham Hotspur fans here in the Transfer Tavern are hoping that Mauricio Pochettino will show a few of the deadwood players the door this summer in order to move the team forward.

Mauricio Pochettino has mastermind a fantastic rise up the table for Spurs this year, after what was a rocky time in the opening half of the season. Spurs currently sit in the top-four in the league and well within the Champions League spots for next year, which is vital with the new stadium move edging ever closer.

The Spurs fans in the bar will hope to see the team continue their good form and lock up a top-four finish as early as possible, while their young team continues to develop under the Argentine’s attention to detail eye.

Indeed, there are a few players that simply should not see the new stadium and it hasn’t been a particularly happy season for these TWO Lillywhites. With that being said, the 2 Tottenham players in question seriously need to look at finding new clubs in the new season…

Erik Lamela

Erik Lamela hasn’t shone as brightly as he has done in previous years after a tough time with injuries. This year, he’s been having to settle for a bit-part role within the first team, which must have frustrated him no end.

However, with his minutes on the pitch diminishing and struggling to show the Argentine boss what he can still bring to this Spurs team. A move away seems the only plausible route the midfielder is going to go in the summer for a man who promised so much in Tottenham colours.

Moussa Sissoko

Used a fair amount this season, the French midfielder surely has no real future at Tottenham. Indeed, he’s been a total flop since his hugely expensive move from Newcastle United back in 2016 and looks largely out of place when called upon. None of the Sissoko we saw for France at the European Championships two years ago has shown up for Spurs and the punters propping up our bar think it’s time to leave.

If Tottenham can recoup even a figure of the fee they paid for him, it would surely be a miracle.
