Summers at Tottenham Hotspur are rarely quiet affairs and this year looks to be no different with plenty of movement expected throughout the club.

Spurs are yet to confirm whether Ange Postecoglou will be remaining at the north London club for next season after helping them end their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League, while gaining qualification to the Champions League in the process.

The Australian remaining at the helm or not will obviously affect certain player's futures, with Cristian Romero potentially in that list, but many will be heading towards the exit door regardless, due to their contract situations or other factors, and that's who we're looking at here.

Here are 10 players that reckon could leave Tottenham this summer.

Timo Werner

It's fair to say that the German's second loan spell from RB Leipzig was a disaster, other than the odd little moment, with just 946 minutes from 27 appearances and only eight minutes in the Premier League since January 4. There's no chance that Werner comes back for season three.

Mathys Tel is also on loan but there feels like more chance that the Frenchman could return, either through another loan or if Spurs can get his price tag down.

Sergio Reguilon

Just 316 minutes for the Spaniard and 195 of those in the Premier League, the bulk of which came in the match at Aston Villa.

Reguilon's contract is running towards its conclusion after half a decade in N17 and just 73 appearances for the club and he'll head off this summer looking to restart his career.

Fraser Forster

The 37-year-old has spent three years at Tottenham and made 34 appearances while conceding 54 goals and keeping eight clean sheets.

Forster has proved to be a hugely popular professional behind the scenes with a strong work ethic but with so many goalkeepers now at Spurs, his services have become surplus to requirements.

Alfie Whiteman

Another member of the goalkeeping department, Whiteman has made one appearance for Tottenham in a Europa League tie against Ludogorets in November 2020. The 26-year-old has been at the club for a decade and is one of Spurs' few club-trained players so there is an argument for extending his contract as in Europe he takes up a free spot.

However, the academy product may just feel that now is the time to head out and get some regular senior first team football.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

You might have forgotten about the Dane because he hasn't worn a Spurs shirt in about a year and to be honest, the club could have done with him at points this season as well.

However, Hojbjerg was at Marseille finishing second in Ligue 1 with Roberto De Zerbi and his loan spell will become permanent this summer just as his contract was set to expire at Tottenham.

Bryan Gil

Another player you might have forgotten was still registered to Tottenham because he's been away all season. Gil has been at Girona during this campaign and had enjoyed a pretty reasonable time there, enjoying Champions League football, until he suffered a knee injury in March that required surgery.

The 24-year-old winger's contract comes to an end next year and both the Spaniard and Spurs are looking to go their separate ways.

Yves Bissouma

The Mali international came good for Spurs at the end of the season with his performances in the Europa League but it was a tough campaign overall for Bissouma.

It started with a club suspension and he only started 16 Premier League games in all. With his and Rodrigo Bentancur's contracts expiring next year, it's more likely the Uruguayan will get a new deal and Spurs will look for buyers for Bissouma this summer to ensure they do not lose him for nothing in 2026.

Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray are seen as the future and that means fewer and fewer chances for Bissouma in the centre of the park as they continue to develop.

Manor Solomon

The Israel international had a season to remember at Leeds as he helped them to the Championship title and scored the goal that sealed it.

Solomon racked up 23 goal involvements in 41 matches for the Elland Road side and they would no doubt love to keep him in the Premier League. That will be down to Spurs' price tag and the competition for his signature.

Alejo Veliz

It just hasn't worked out for the 21-year-old striker at Tottenham and neither has he really clicked into action during his two loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol.

There has been talk of a return to Rosario Central this summer where Veliz scored plenty of goals as a teenager. He's got four years left on his contract but it's difficult to see him breaking into the first team set-up again at this point.

Richarlison

Injuries have been the problem for Richarlison, who showed his worth in the final weeks of the campaign but has struggled for availability again this year on the whole.

With two years left on his current contract, Tottenham will no doubt listen to any decent offers that come in for the Brazilian, who was called up for international duty this month. Every time he's fit, the 28-year-old makes an impact but it's keeping him fit for prolonged periods that's been the biggest issue.
