Tottenham plans to sell off 9 players

Tottenham will try to offload as many as nine
players this summer, who cost the club in total
£90million.
Four of the players were bought in the summer
of 2013 with the money from the £86m sale of
Gareth Bale and include Roberto Soldado, who
was signed for a then club record fee of £26m.
Also on the list are Younes Kaboul, who started
the season as captain but has not started a
Premier League match since November, and
Emmanuel Adebayor, who still has a year left on
his £100,000-a-week deal.
Vlad Chiriches, Younes Kaboul, Etienne Capoue,
Paulinho, Mousa Dembele and Aaron Lennon are
all surplus to requirements. The future of
Benjamin Stambouli is also unclear, even though
the French midfielder joined the club only last
summer.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino aims to
finalise his summer transfer plans when he
meets key staff shortly after the club’s final
game of the season against Everton.
But he already has a clear idea of the players he
is willing to lose and will communicate this to
chairman Daniel Levy. Paul Mitchell, the club’s
head of recruitment and analysis, will also have
a significant role to play during the close
season. Pochettino will seek to sit down with
Mitchell, Levy and other senior figures in the
final week of May, although Tottenham leave the
country soon after the match at Everton on May
24. They have games in Kuala Lumpur and
Sydney on May 27 and May 30 respectively and
Pochettino is keen to have his project set in
stone as soon as he can.
