# Pochettino sensationally axes Spurs stars, huge rebuild continues

**Ahead of their venture into the Champions League, the Spurs fans in the Transfer Tavern are casting keen eyes over rumours and reports over potential incomings and outgoings.**

With Victor Wanyama and Vincent Janssen through the door already, the extent of Mauricio Pochettino’s rebuild at White Hart Lane surely hints at more activity.

Well, to the North London locals propping up the bar, the Argentine coach has perhaps dropped his biggest hint as to who could leave.

As they gear up for a trip to Oslo to play Inter Milan, the club announced on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/761190298919763972/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) their 24 man squad.

The likes of Nacer Chadli, Clinton N’Jie, Nabil Bentaleb and DeAndre Yedlin have been notable omissions from the ranks, amid links with a move away.

Borussia Dortmund are [said](https://www.footballinsider247.com/euro-giants-to-bid-12m-for-tottenham-attacker-amid-contract-stalemate-report/) to be lining up a move for Chadli, while Bentaleb is [believed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3643846/Napoli-want-sign-Tottenham-midfielder-Nabil-Bentaleb-Mauricio-Pochettino-looks-offload-21-year-old.html) to have been frozen out of proceedings with Crystal Palace [reportedly](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3643846/Napoli-want-sign-Tottenham-midfielder-Nabil-Bentaleb-Mauricio-Pochettino-looks-offload-21-year-old.html) keen.

Yedlin spent last season on loan with Sunderland, with new boss David Moyes [revealing](https://www.footballinsider247.com/manager-confirms-hes-held-talks-over-tottenham-defender-deal/) he has held further talks about bringing the American back to Wearside.

**Spurs fans, are there any of these players you’d keep?! Surely Bentaleb can develop into a big star? Let us know below…**
