Tottenham Hotspur are in a much better place now than they were even just a few weeks ago, as Roberto De Zerbi has got a squad that previously looked like they had given up on even pretendign to care to one that is believing - and more importantly, winning.
But even if Tottenham manage to stay up in the Premier League and hold off the push from crosstown rivals West Ham United, there are three players who are going to leave the club anyway this summer transfer window.
ST Randal Kolo Muani
The most obvious player who is going to leave Tottenham this summer is loan signing Randal Kolo Muani, who was brought in on transfer deadline day last summer to bolster a weak striker lineup. And while Spurs were disappointing up front and had a major injury to Dominic Solanke, Kolo Muani, outside of a hat trick against PSG in a game Spurs lost anyway, did a whole lot of nothing.
Kolo Muani's sheer lack of effort has been appalling and infuriating to Spurs fans. With not even Roberto De Zerbi able to get more out of the French striker, the common refrain around the former Eintracht Frankfurt man will be "good riddance".
GK Guglielmo Vicario
Serie A champions Inter Milan are driving hard after the signing of Guglielmo Vicario, and it appears his move back to Italian football is a mere formality at this point. Vicario was once one of the best goalkeepers in Europe at Empoli, but he has outworn his welcome at the N17, exposed as a hugely mistake prone goalkeeper in the Premier League. With Antonin Kinsky shining since Vicario finally got surgery to repair a hernia, there is clearly no use left for the veteran goalkeeper.
CB Cristian Romero
With Micky van de Ven suddenly more in than out, perhaps galvanized by the coaching of Roberto De Zerbi, the most likely star center back to leave Tottenham Hotspur - even moreso than young gem Luka Vuskovic in Hamburg - is captain Cristian Romero.
The Argentinian international has not behaved very captain like this season, and while it was nice to see him take the board to task, it's not like his actual play on the pitch or leadership was the proper response. Romero is a good player, but he's not great. And he may choose to chase his own greatness by asking for the change in scenery he had already pondered last year.
