Tottenham Hotspur still have plenty of work to do in the summer transfer window.

Spurs have spent £237million to sign Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke.

They have also drafted in Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.

But Roberto De Zerbi is desperate to add some more attacking reinforcement to his squad before the close of the window.

However, there are several players who could be heading for the exit door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the next few weeks.

Here, Tottenham News has identified three players who are facing an uncertain future over the next few weeks.

Richarlison

Brazil forward Richarlison finds himself in a bit of a state of flux at Tottenham right now.

Spurs had a dreadful 2025/26 campaign, but Richarlison was one of the few who came out with some credit.

There is a general feeling, though, that in an ideal world Spurs would sign a new striker this season, with a need to upgrade on Richarlison and Dominic Solanke.

Indeed, there have been rumblings that Richarlison himself would seek pastures new this window.

If Tottenham can add new bodies in the forward area, then Richarlison might find himself on the move.

Three questions Tottenham Hotspur supporters still have this transfer window

Guglielmo Vicario

It has inevitable all summer that Guglielmo Vicario will be on his way out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Italian missed the final seven games of last season through injury, and Antonin Kinsky is expected to start the campaign as first choice.

Juventus and Napoli have been tipped with a move throughout the window, and a return to Serie A feels very much on the cards.

Vicario enjoyed a decent start to his Tottenham career, but his progress has stalled and it feels very much like he will be allowed to move if a decent offer comes in.

Djed Spence

Djed Spence is another who finds himself in a bit of a weird situation.

In an ideal world, his versatility to play at both right and left-back means he is an ideal squad player.

But Spence saw his stock rise with an excellent World Cup as England reached the semi-finals.

As such, if he is not guaranteed to be a starter under De Zerbi then he might get itchy feet about his future.

It feels like more of a "watch this space" than any real certainty when it comes to Spence, but it would not be the biggest shock if he were to move on.
