Tottenham set to announce triple senior exit as Postecoglou situation develops
Tottenham are facing a pivotal summer after winning their first trophy in 17 years.
Ange Postecoglou’s future is still uncertain despite leading the North London club to the Europa League title on 21 May against Manchester United.
There is also a lot of work to be done in the transfer market and qualification for the Champions League should allow Spurs to sign their targets.
Some players will leave the N17 outfit, with significant upgrades needed after a dismal Premier League campaign, in which they finished 17th in the table.
Reguilon and Forster set for Tottenham exit
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium outfit are expected to be very busy in the transfer market, in terms of both incomings and outgoings.
PA Sport reporter George Sessions claimed (28 May) that Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Whiteman and Fraser Forster are set to leave on 30 June.
He stated that a decision was also set to be made on Ben Davies’ future in North London.
Tottenham overhaul needs to happen
The departures are not unexpected as those players failed to have much impact for Postecoglou’s side this season.
Reguilon made just six appearances in all competitions, while Whiteman failed to feature at all, so it is not a surprise that they are set to leave.
Forster featured 13 times for Spurs, filling in when Guglielmo Vicario was injured but when Antonin Kinsky was signed, he was no longer needed between the sticks and it makes no sense to keep him around.
Davies is a more complicated one, he is a solid depth option and made 28 appearances this season in the absence of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
The Welshman’s future probably depends on the Lilywhites’ plans in the market, as they cannot afford to lose his experience if Romero departs for Atletico Madrid.
The Europa League winners need to strengthen their squad and they cannot afford to carry deadweight on the wage bill as they look to make the step up to being an elite side.
Whether that is under Postecoglou or Daniel Levy decides to go in a different direction, remains to be seen.
