The summer transfer window is next month, and Tottenham Hotspur has its plan heading into the market for players that need to exit.
Football Insider reports that the north London club will do whatever it takes to get rid of players the manager Antonio Conte doesn’t want this summer. Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, and Steven Bergwijn are at the top of the list regarding players they want to offload.
Spurs insider John Wenham into detail discussing the thought process of Tottenham being willing to take a loss and grabbing whatever they can get from certain players rather than holding out for a specific fee.
“This has been something that has been happening since at least last summer,” Wenham said. “For example, we probably could have got more money for Sissoko, but we just needed him gone, so we took what we could get.”
“We aren’t going to make our money back on these players, so lets just get them gone and see how much we can bring in. I would rather we got rid of the players than hang on for the right deal to sell them. We should be doing whatever it takes to get players like Ndombele gone.”
Some players have improved their value, like Giovani Lo Celso, and might get something closer to what they initially paid since a couple of La Liga clubs are keen on the Argentine.
However, other players like Tanguy Ndombele will need to accept whatever fee to cut their losses permanently and not need to secure another loan deal.
