Eight Tottenham players could quit in mass exodus after update – expert
Eight Tottenham first-teamers could leave the club this summer as Antonio Conte looks to overhaul his squad.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
On 20 April, The Telegraph reported Conte wants as many as six new signings this summer.
It was claimed the Italian is looking to add a centre-back, a right wing-back, two midfielders, a forward and a reserve goalkeeper.
Wenham claims this is realistic with eight current Spurs players all mooted to leave the club this summer.
“I think six is a realistic number,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“We will need a new backup keeper with Gollini going back to Atalanta, then we need two new full-backs as a minimum.
“A central defender, a central midfielder and a striker, that makes six and that is what we need.
“But six players could easily leave this summer so they will need to be replaced.
“Off the top of my head Gollini can go, Carter-Vickers, Lo Celso, Ndombele there are four.
“Add Bergwijn, Winks, Rodon and Sanchez, there are eight players who could go this summer and if that is the case then they will need to be replaced.
“I think six new signings is entirely possible.”
Carter-Vickers, Lo Celso and Ndombele are all out on loan at Celtic, Villarreal and Lyon respectively.
Tottenham are next in action against Leicester on Sunday (1 May).
