Tottenham Hotspur Make Six Players Available For Transfer

Nuno Espirito Santo could be set for a huge summer overhaul at Tottenham Hotspur, with the Premier League club making six first team players up for sale.

Espirito Santo left Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of last season and was close to joining both Crystal Palace and Everton, before eventually going to Spurs.

The north London club were themselves linked with several different candidates, including a return for Mauricio Pochettino and the capture of Antonio Conte, before finally appointing the Portuguese manager.

Spurs fans are waiting to find out what's going to happen with Harry Kane this summer, with the star striker wanting to leave the club, but instead it's six other first team players who are up for sale.

According to the Athletic, Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Moussa Sissoko Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld are all up for sale this summer.

In the case of Aurier and Sanchez, it's down to the pair not really adapting to life in the Premier League, since moving from PSG and Ajax respectively.

It's also down to the fact that Spurs are hoping to add a right back and a centre back to strengthen the first team this summer.

Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is expected to join for £15 million, with the 22-year-old able to play in a back five, as Espirito Santo played at Wolves.

At centre back the club have been hoping to sign Sevilla's Jules Kounde, with the Spanish club willing to sell at less than his release clause, but there's been little movement.

If Kounde can't be signed then Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar and Southampton's Jan Vestergaard are considered as potential alternatives. Alderweireld has told the club he wants to leave.

As well as those mentioned previously, both Harry Winks and Hugo Lloris are set to have their futures decided in the coming weeks.

Lloris, fresh from playing for France at Euro 2020, only has one year left on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and might be sold if he doesn't sign a new deal.

Incomings will certainly change if Kane leaves. City were reportedly ready to offer £100 million plus the option of a player exchange but Spurs' price is believed to be £150 million.
