Tottenham Hotspur have made a whopping six signings so far in the 2026 summer transfer window, but with gaping holes in the attack and no new forward additions as of yet, Roberto De Zerbi and Johan Lange clearly are not done adding blockbuster bombas to this very depleted squad from their near relegation in 2025/26.
But in order to buy, Spurs have to keep letting go. They have already shed Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin, but here are five more players who need to go before the 2026/27 Premier League season begins.
CM Pape Matar Sarr
Brentford are highly interested in Pape Matar Sarr, and while it would be ideal for Spurs to sell the Senegalese international abroad so that he can't hurt them in their own league for a local rival like the Bees, it is better for Sarr's career to stay in the Premier League because he is a decent player. But he just isn't good enough for a Big Six side, nor does he fit a team that wants to play out on the front foot going forward under Roberto De Zerbi.
ST Richarlison
Richarlison was Tottenham's leading scorer, and while Spurs could conceivably keep him, since Dominic Solanke is basically an immovable brick on the transfer market, Richy is the one who must go. Spurs will have to sell one striker to make way for a better one - and ideally, they would sell Richy and sign two with Randal Kolo Muani already mercifully gone.
CB Cristian Romero
Cristian Romero is absolute class, as he showed for Argentina in their last two World Cup wins, but the ship has sailed on the captain, who disgraced himself at the end of the cursed 2025/26 season. Tottenham just need to get as muchas they can out of his sale.
CM Conor Gallagher
Conor Gallagher joined Tottenham Hotspur for 40 million euros and has a salary above 50 million euros total for the next five seasons. It is a disaster of a contract and signing, and if Tottenham can somehow find an interested party, they have to sell regardless of how decent he looked at the end of the season or how much De Zerbi (pretends) to like him.
CM Rodrigo Bentancur
Three midfielders is a lot to let go of, but after signing Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, if that's what it takes to keep gems Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray and actually play them, so be it. Because Tottenham cannot afford to lose these stars of the future just to waste more minutes on Rodrigo Bentancur and Conor Gallagher.
