Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch believes every single Spurs player will be up for sale this summer, and has cast serious doubt over the quality within his former side's ranks. His old club find themselves embroiled in a fierce relegation battle, sitting two points below West Ham United and Premier League safety.
Roberto De Zerbi has just four matches remaining to secure Spurs' Premier League survival. After beating already-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon, they face further clashes against Aston Villa, Leeds United, Chelsea and Everton.

Crouch believes attacking midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has been a colossal absentee this season through a knee injury, and that his loss has played a significant role in Spurs' alarming slump. Nevertheless, the former Lilywhites frontman maintains that the club's precarious position is a true reflection of the talent at their disposal.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Crouch said: "To me, everyone is available [to be sold]. I think they need a complete rebuild. There's not enough quality there.

"To me, Dejan Kulusevski is the biggest miss this season. His injury is just a massive mystery at this point and his absence is one of the main reasons they're down in 18th.
"Unfortunately, their current position reflects their current team. I don't think they're much better than West Ham."
De Zerbi is pulling out all the stops to drag Spurs out of their current predicament and, ahead of the clash with Wolves, declared: "For sure my words are not enough and I try to find the best solution to reach every player. Sometimes you arrive with a video, sometimes with words, sometimes with red wine, or a beer. I don't know.
"Sometimes analysis videos but sometimes what they have done in their career, also in other clubs. (Randal) Kolo Muani, if I play with Kolo Muani as right winger it's because he has played in that position.
"If you go to YouTube, and you go to Kolo Muani (at) Eintracht Frankfurt, you can see he played very well in that position and he scored a lot of goals in that position. When I don't work in my office, I go to find something to be important for me to give more information about the players because we have no time and we have to consider everything to stay up.
"YouTube or WyScout, I use to find something to think what can be the best solution, for the players, not for me. Today is April 24 and we have not won a game in 2026.
"Do you think the players suffer for this? For sure. To win a game can give us, give them more energy, more confidence, more positivity but they are human."
