Tottenham Hotspur has announced the departure of nine players as new boss Ange Postecoglou begins his shake-up. The list of departures includes Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet, who made 26 appearances for Spurs last season, and fans’ favourite Lucas Moura. Frontman Arnaut Danjuma is returning to parent club Villarreal. The remaining six players are development squad members Jamie Bowden, Kallum Cesay, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, Roshaun Mathurin, Marqes Muir, and Romaine Mundle. Additionally, three Under-18s players, Thomas Bloxham, Brandon Bryan-Waugh, and Riley Owen, will be looking for new clubs after finishing their Tottenham scholarships.
Clement Lenglet is heading back to parent club Barca but is tipped for a permanent exit from the LaLiga kings. Meanwhile, Brazilian winger Moura is leaving after failing to pin down a regular starting place. The 30-year-old arrived in 2018 from PSG and bagged a famous hat-trick against Ajax to earn Tottenham a spot in the 2019 Champions League final.
There are no real surprises in Tottenham’s retained list. Spurs had already revealed that Moura would be leaving. Postecoglou will now switch his attention to reshaping the Spurs squad in his own eye with major new signings. A new centre-back is high up the list. Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, ahead of Wolves star Max Kilman, is rated a prime target. Postecoglou is also sniffing around James Maddison and Harvey Barnes following their relegation with Leicester.
