TOTTENHAM TRANSFER BOMBHELL: NINE STARS AXED AS POSTECOGLOU UNLEASHES SQUAD OVERHAUL!

The 2023/24 season officially comes to a close on Sunday as Monday marks the start of July and the 2024/25 campaign. That means clubs will be saying farewell to players upon the expiration of their contracts on June 30.

For Tottenham, nine players will be departing N17 for a fresh challenge elsewhere. It is a key summer at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Ange Postecoglou looks to make the necessary changes to his playing squad to help them hit the next level.

The Lilywhites were very active in the transfer market 12 months ago and the same needs to happen this time around. As part of the squad changes ahead of the 2024/25 term, Spurs announced at the beginning of June the departures of Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga at their end of their contracts.

Both Dier and Perisic did in fact leave Tottenham in January as they linked up with Bayern Munich and Hajduk Split respectively on initial loan deals. Dier went on to feature prominently under Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena as Bayern went far in the Champions League but unfortunately couldn’t regain their Bundesliga crown.

Perisic, on the other hand, would only feature in seven games for Hajduk Split after battling back from the ACL injury he sustained in non-contact training at Tottenham in September but it was enough to see him make Croatia’s Euro 2024 squad. Both Dier and Perisic’s loan moves will become permanent following the conclusion of their Spurs contracts.

Whereas the aforementioned duo are all set for the 2024/25 season, it remains to be seen where exactly Sessegnon and Tanganga will be playing their football. Sessegnon endured another injury-hit campaign at Tottenham but Crystal Palace and West Ham have been linked with him so far this summer, with Millwall keen on signing Tanganga permanently after such a successful time on loan at The Den in the second half of last season.

Sunday will also mark the end of Tanguy Ndombele’s time at Tottenham. Earlier this month Spurs confirmed the mutual termination of his contract, which had one more year left to run on it.

A club statement read: “The Club can confirm the departure of Tanguy Ndombele following the mutual termination of his contract, effective from 30 June, upon the conclusion of his current loan spell.
