Tottenham Hotspur have made six signings this summer transfer window, including three players who cost at least 50 million pounds in Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mateus Fernandes. These three players will be immediate starters on the team, while Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, and Andy Robertson are all budget additions who will be vital No. 2 options.

Spurs still need to make more signings to upgrade a very poor attack, but before they do that, they will have to clear more space and raise more funds with sales. Here are five experienced players whose futures at Spurs are in danger.

CM Pape Matar Sarr

Pape Matar Sarr is not a bad player and is probably the most useful of the five on this list to Tottenham Hotspur, because he is still young at 23. And at the beginning of the 2025/26 Premier League season, he looked like a real find for Thomas Frank and was even scoring wonder goals for the Senegal national team. But overall, Sarr had a subpar 2025/26 season. He just does not control the ball well enough or impose himself on games; he would be a great player for a club with lower expectations like Brentford.

GK Gulglielmo Vicario

Tottenham are so desperate to sell Guglielmo Vicario that it is no secret to other clubs, which is hurting how much Spurs can sell him for. Inter Milan backed out, but with Juventus no longer able to go for Emiliano Martinez, Vicario to Juve could be the best hope Spurs have of selling a goalkeeper who lost his spot in the squad to Antonin Kinsky and Dubravka.

ST Dominic Solanke

Although Dominic Solanke will probably stay for one more year so that Roberto De Zerbi, who did seem to like him last season, gets a final look at what he can do. On paper, Solanke is a decent player with an all around game and some scoring potential, but he has been a 65 million pound letdown thus far and really hurt Spurs the most when they needed him.

ST Richarlison

Tottenham Hotspur have been shopping Richarlison on the transfer market for a couple of years now, and although he was the team's leading goal scorer in the Premier League last season, the feeling is that Spurs could rather leverage that into a sale than into starting him again next season. He does not have the consistency or profile Roberto De Zerbi is looking for at the 9, and he is one of the few sellable assets at forward that they could parlay into a true 20 goal striker wtih some youth to him.

CM Rodrigo Bentancur

Rodrigo Bentancur was key to Spurs survival under De Zerbi at the end of the 2025/26 season, but he was pretty poor for much of the season and has no real long term upside. Spurs are already making him a backup after signing two way better players in Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, and with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall pining for minutes in their development, Bentancur is an odd man out.
