5 players who could leave Tottenham in the summer
Antonio Conte has urged Daniel Levy for a squad overhaul at Tottenham Hotspur, and the manager believes he will get one. The Italian went on a rant after his side lost to Burnley and claimed the club keeps changing managers, but not the players.
"I spoke with Daniel. Our chairman Daniel Levy knows very well that I am here to help the club in every moment and I will help the club until the end. This is the reality and he knows this. He knows that we are working very hard and he has great consideration about my job, about the job of my staff. We speak. I want to help the club in every aspect with my vision and my idea, and my ideas about football for improvement."
Spurs do need an overhaul, but Levy does not spend big without thinking about balancing the books. The chairman is likely to sanction big moves for Conte, but there could also be a firesale at the club.
Here are 5 players who could leave Tottenham this summer:
#5 - Matt Doherty
Matt Doherty was signed from Wolves in 2020 but has failed to make an impact. The Irish star has started just three PL games this season and made six substitute appearances.
Conte clearly seems to favor Emerson Royal as his RWB, even though Doherty has done decently well every time he has got a chance.

The defender has not been linked with a move back to Wolves, who are in need of a wing-back with Semedo not doing enough to mount a European challenge for Bruno Lage.
#4 - Giovani Lo Celso
When Conte arrived, it seemed like the Italian would enjoy using Giovani Lo Celso in his starting XI. However, things changed quickly, and the Argentine is now on loan at Villarreal.
Unai Emery is a huge fan of the former PSG star and quickly lured him back to Spain. The midfielder's future looks set to be away from the club despite Spurs spending big to sign him.

Should the Argentine impress on his loan at El Submarino Amarillo, it would not be a surprise if they sign him permanently. The only stumbling block would be the fee as Levy would be keen on getting most of the £55 million spent on him back.
