Tottenham squad: Sell, keep or loan


Tottenham survived disaster on the final day of the Premier League season, just.

Roberto De Zerbi’s arrival saved them from what would have been a historic relegation, and the Italian manager wasted no time in the aftermath of the win over Everton, revealing that the work has already started to reshape his squad for next season.

After a campaign that included three different managers, a 15-match winless run, and plenty of records that Spurs fans will want to forget very quickly, there is unsurprisingly a lot of work to be done in the summer transfer window.

De Zerbi managed to restore belief in the players during the closing weeks of the season, and there is optimism that, with a full pre-season and no European football, Tottenham can recover quickly.

But the squad remains out of sorts. Injuries exposed a lack of depth, several senior players failed to deliver on the pitch and there are still question marks over a number of expensive signings.

This summer will define whether Spurs can push back towards the top, or dwindle towards the bottom of the table for a third consecutive season.

101GreatGoals takes a look at who should stay, who should go and who could benefit from a loan move.

GOALKEEPERS

Guglielmo Vicario

No one can question his passion for the club, but he had too many shaky moments, and the fans have lost faith in him. A move away from the club appears the best solution for all parties.
SELL

Antonin Kinsky

Still young and developing but bounced back from his horrible night in Madrid to play a huge part in keeping Tottenham in the Premier League. He has earned his place next season.
KEEP

Brandon Austin

A reliable third-choice goalkeeper and valuable dressing-room presence. Homegrown status also helps the squad balance.
KEEP

DEFENDERS

Cristian Romero

Arguably had his worst season at Tottenham, despite being the club captain. Too many injuries, red cards and lack of accountability points towards an exit for the World Cup winner.
SELL

Micky van de Ven

One of the few players capable of operating at Champions League level consistently. His recovery pace remains crucial to how Spurs defend high up the pitch and after a tough patch this season, has redeemed himself.
KEEP

Kevin Danso

Has stepped in and stepped up several times when the backline has crumbled. A warrior of a defender who puts his body on the line in every match, Tottenham need someone like that.
KEEP

Radu Dragusin

A difficult season overall. After recovering from his ACL injury, he only got a handful of opportunities. With his agent constantly talking about getting him a bit move, perhaps that is best for all parties.
SELL

Pedro Porro

Still one of Tottenham’s biggest attacking threats from defence. Hisdefensive weaknesses remain, but De Zerbi’s system should suit him.
KEEP

Destiny Udogie

Injuries interrupted his campaign but he remains one of the most talented young full-backs in the Premier League. Spurs need him fully fit next season.
KEEP

Djed Spence

One of the positives this season. Took his opportunity well during the injury crisis and has been rewarded with a spot at the World Cup with England.
KEEP

Ben Davies

Professional, dependable and experienced. No longer a guaranteed starter but still useful within the squad, however, there comes a time where every player must say goodbye, this summer might be Ben Davies’ time.
SELL

Souza

Thrown into difficult situations during Tottenham’s injury crisis and gained some valuable experience. Still very early in his development.
LOAN

MIDFIELDERS

Joao Palhinha

Added steel and leadership to a midfield that badly lacked control through most of the season. If Tottenham can negotiate favourable terms to keep him permanently, they should snap Bayern Munich’s hand off.
KEEP

Yves Bissouma

Too inconsistent again. At his best he dominates games, but those performances come far too rarely. With disciplinary issues persistent as well, Spurs need to move him on.
SELL

Rodrigo Bentancur

Still technically one of Tottenham’s smartest midfielders, although injuries continue to limit him. If he can stay fit, he remains an important option.
KEEP

Pape Matar Sarr

Started the season superbly, but trailed off and an injury setback hindered his development. This will split opinions in the Spurs camp, but he would be a potential asset with some good value attached to him.
SELL

Lucas Bergvall

Another who had his campaign disrupted with injuries. As a result, he did not play as much as he should have. Still remains one of Europe’s top prospects and Spurs should keep hold of him.
KEEP

Archie Gray

Used in multiple positions throughout the campaign again and as always, he handled the pressure impressively. A huge part of Tottenham’s future under the right manager.
KEEP

James Maddison

His injury problems remain a source of frustration, but Tottenham are still a more creative side when he plays. De Zerbi may be able to get the best from him again.

KEEP

Xavi Simons

With an ACL injury keeping him out until the New Year, there is little to no chance that Tottenham say goodbye to Xavi Simons.
KEEP

Conor Gallagher

His energy and work-rate became crucial during the relegation fight. De Zerbi clearly trusts him and there is likely more to come next season.
KEEP

Wilson Odobert

Like Simons, will be sidelined until the new campaign is well underway. Proved to be an impressive player when fit.
KEEP

FORWARDS

Dominic Solanke

Feels like a De Zerbi-type striker but is yet to seriously pay back much of the £65million Tottenham paid for him a few seasons ago. If a suitable offer comes in, it may be tempting to accept.
SELL

Dejan Kulusevski

One of Tottenham’s most important creative players, when fit. His knee issue has kept him out all season, but there is hope he will return over the summer.
KEEP

Mohammed Kudus

Flashes of brilliance throughout the campaign before getting injured. It is no surprise to see Tottenham’s final third threat drop off when he is not playing.
KEEP

Mathys Tel

Showed exciting moments after arriving and has the profile of a player who could thrive under De Zerbi. Spurs should continue developing him carefully, whether that is at the club or out on loan is a tough question to answer.
LOAN

Richarlison

Another difficult year dominated by injuries and inconsistency. His commitment has always been there, but Tottenham cannot continue relying on him.
SELL

Randal Kolo Muani

The loan spell never fully caught fire and it looks a forgone conclusion that he will return to Paris Saint-Germain.
SELL

OUT ON LOAN

Luka Vuskovic

Highly rated and progressing well. Could potentially be integrated into the first-team squad during pre-season before a decision is made.
KEEP

Yang Min-Hyeok

Still adapting physically to football in England. Appeared to be doing well at Portsmouth before joining Coventry. Another loan move would benefit his development.
LOAN

Manor Solomon

There has never really been a place at Tottenham for Manor Solomon, it is unlikely that changes.
SELL

Ashley Phillips

Needs regular senior football and was shortlisted as the Championship Player of the Season with Stoke. Tottenham still believe in his long-term potential.
LOAN

Alfie Devine

Technically gifted but has never found his place in the senior squad. It may be time for him to wave farewell.
SELL

Kota Takai

Still developing and would benefit from more senior experience before challenging for Spurs minutes.
LOAN

Dane Scarlett

Has never fulfilled the potential expected of him. Although he has shown flashes at times, Tottenham can only wait so long.
SELL

Mikey Moore

Had a brilliant season away with Rangers and Tottenham could have done with him back in North London. Expect to see him given more first-team minutes next season.
KEEP
