Tottenham to offload up to 10 players, including 2 Postecoglou's key stars
- Tottenham may sell Bissouma and Bentancur this summer
- This depends on receiving a substantial offer for either player
By Manuel Meza
In a surprising development, The Standard reports that Tottenham Hotspur may consider selling midfielders Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur this summer if a substantial offer comes in for either player.
This revelation aligns with the widely reported expectation of a major squad overhaul as manager Ange Postecoglou prepares for his second season at the helm.
The notion of a summer exodus at Spurs has been circulating for weeks, with sources like Football Insider suggesting a significant number of players will be shown the exit door. The Standard backs this claim, listing several players who are likely to leave. Emerson Royal, attracting interest from clubs in Italy and Saudi Arabia, could be one of the first departures.
Other names expected to follow include Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil, Joe Rodon, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele, and Japhet Tanganga.
The report also mentions that Tottenham will entertain offers for squad players like Manor Solomon, indicating a willingness to listen to proposals for a wide array of their roster.

The possibility of Bissouma and Bentancur leaving has certainly raised eyebrows. Despite Postecoglou's desire to retain both players, a lucrative bid might prompt Spurs to reconsider.
Bissouma, who joined from Brighton, has shown promise but hasn't fully cemented his place in the squad. Bentancur, on the other hand, has had a challenging season due to injury and has yet to regain his best form after nearly a year out of action.
It's understandable that the club might be tempted by significant offers, especially in the context of a squad rebuild. However, selling Bentancur could be a considerable risk.
The Uruguayan midfielder, when fit, adds a layer of quality and composure to Tottenham's midfield that could be vital in the coming season. Patience might be key with Bentancur, as he works his way back to peak condition.
With the potential for a major shake-up at Spurs, how do you feel about the possibility of selling key midfielders like Bissouma and Bentancur? Do you think it's a wise move, or should the club focus on stability and continuity in the middle of the park? Let us know your thoughts!
