Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed another thrilling Premier League campaign this season and the fans in the Transfer Tavern are excited by what they have seen from their side.
Changes are inevitable this summer though, as the Lilywhites look to ensure they’re capable of mounting another challenge for the Premier League title next season, as well as eyeing improvements in the Champions League following a premature exit this term.
Whilst the majority of the chatter in the bar is surrounding potential recruits for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this summer, our landlord is discussing who could leave White Hart Lane – and two major exits have been talked up by our punters.
Tottenham’s transfer kitty is likely to be boosted significantly by these departures in the close season, giving Pochettino more money to spend to improve his squad, and the fans in the bar are happy to wave these two players off.
Moussa Sissoko
Arriving from relegated Newcastle United for a £30m fee last summer, French ace Moussa Sissoko has failed to build upon his impressive performances for his nation at the European Championships and has struggled at Tottenham Hotspur.
First-team opportunities for the Frenchman have been severely limited and Spurs possess plenty of capable players in the wide areas, which means Sissoko is surplus to requirements and raises the likelihood of an exit this summer.
Kyle Walker
Heavily linked with a summer move to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, the likelihood of a summer exit for Walker has increased as a result – but Spurs won’t miss him too much.
Kieran Trippier has excelled when featuring ahead of Walker this season and Spurs can expect to get a hefty fee for the England international’s signature – and they can use that profit to strengthen in other areas of the field, as Trippier is more then capable of replacing his compatriot.
Spurs face a huge test to keep their key-players at the club during the next 12 months but Walker is a player they can afford to wave goodbye to.
