Tottenham Hotspur could be heading into a defining summer, with uncertainty over their league status casting doubt on the futures of several senior players already sidelined or facing unclear paths at the club. We have now highlighted five players who could have played their last game for Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping they can beat the drop this season as they plan for a rebuild in the summer transfer window.
Of course, the nature and extent of that rebuild will be determined by the division Spurs are in next campaign.
Going down to the Championship will bring severe financial repercussions and could also bring forth a mass exodus, while staying in the Premier League could see a few marquee additions as Spurs aim to bolster their squad.
With that in mind, we have now highlighted five Tottenham stars who may have already played their last game for the club ahead of the summer transfer window.
Cristian Romero’s injury could end Tottenham stay amid Atletico Madrid interest
Cristian Romero is one player who quickly comes to mind, especially because of the latest injury the World Cup winner picked up in the game against Sunderland.
Following an MRI scan, it has been confirmed that Romero is expected to miss five to seven weeks of action, which effectively rules him out for the rest of the season.
MORE SPURS STORIES
He will return in the summer just in time for the World Cup with Argentina, but given the transfer speculation involving him, he could well be headed to a new club afterwards, with Atletico Madrid still keen on signing the Spurs centre-back.
Romero’s dad also revealed that his son has a release clause in his Tottenham deal, which will make things even more interesting in the summer.
Ben Davies contract uncertainty raises doubts over Tottenham’s future
Ben Davies is another player who could have played his last game for Spurs this season. The Wales international is currently the longest-serving player in the Tottenham Hotspur ranks, having spent over a decade in north London.
However, this season could be his last, with his contract set to expire this summer, allowing him to walk away on a free.
With Davies nursing an injury, it is very unlikely he will take to the field in a Tottenham shirt again this campaign, especially with his return date unknown.
There have also been no reports of a possible contract renewal for the 32-year-old ahead of next season, and with Spurs keen on landing Robertson, it could well signal the end of the Davies era.
Yves Bissouma expected to leave Spurs as contract winds down
Unlike the rest, Yves Bissouma could still feature once more this season for Tottenham, having returned from an injury setback in the game against Sunderland.
The Mali international made the bench in that encounter and has featured a few times already this season.
However, the consensus is that this could be his last year at Tottenham, with Bissouma’s contract expected to expire in the summer.
Spurs are not planning to renew Bissouma’s deal, but the Malian is not short of interest from a number of clubs.
James Maddison faces an uncertain Tottenham future if relegation happens
James Maddison will not feature for Tottenham again this season as he continues to recover from an ACL injury.
Maddison has returned to first-team training, but even then, a return has been pencilled in for June, which confirms no games until next season.
His situation, however, hinges on whether he will remain at Tottenham should they go down to the Championship this season.
If Spurs are relegated, Maddison could depart, and his last appearance for the club may end up being the pre-season encounter in which he picked up his injury.
Dejan Kulusevski’s absence sparks concerns over long-term Spurs role
Dejan Kulusevski’s case is a rather disappointing one, given that he has been out since last season, having last played in May 2025. That is a long time on the sidelines, with his recovery far from straightforward.
Many Tottenham fans are even beginning to speculate whether Kulusevski will play again, although Kulusevski has reassured supporters that he is recovering well.
