Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to offload two players following their defeat by Chelsea.
On Saturday afternoon, the London derby between Spurs and Chelsea took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
During what was a cagey affair, Joao Pedro's goal in the 34th minute was enough to seal a 1-0 victory for Chelsea.
As the final whistle sounded, Spurs fans showed their discontent as boos were heard from around the stadium.

There was also a controversial moment as Spurs stars Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven appeared to 'blank' manager Thomas Frank as they walked off the pitch towards the tunnel.
Following their disappointing performance against rivals Chelsea, it has been reported that Spurs may consider selling two of their first-team stars.
As reported by Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Spurs are looking to sign West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen and FC Porto striker Samu Aghehowa, who could cost a combined total of £110 million.
In order to raise money, it has been suggested that Spurs could sell Richarlison and Dominic Solanke to fund bids for Bowen and Aghehowa.

Recently, Richarlison has been linked with a move away, with the 28-year-old reportedly giving the 'ok' to Brazilian Serie A side Flamengo.
Meanwhile, Solanke, 28, has had a tough start to the 25/26 season due to injury problems.
To date, the Englishman has only managed 49 minutes across three appearances, failing to score or assist.

It has been suggested that Solanke is currently nursing an ankle injury, and he has a transfer value of €40 million, as per Transfermarkt.
Speaking after the match against Chelsea, Spurs boss Frank said: "In general, I think Chelsea were good. We were definitely second best. We performed badly. I think we lacked energy and intensity and that freshness, we didn’t have that.
"Then I think the high pressure they came with, I don’t think we solved it well enough even though we worked on it, so that we need to keep working on."
He added: "I think our high pressure, we lacked a little bit in the beginning until we got on top of it and then they went up 1-0 and we are chasing.

"Then it’s a bad circle where we are chasing, lacking intensity and energy and bad decisions."
