Spurs are preparing for the upcoming summer transfer window, and according to a report from 90min last week, new head coach Ange Postecoglou has given the team permission to seek top targets and reinforce in strategic areas.
Goalkeeper David Raya is a target of their negotiations with Brentford; nevertheless, there are still questions regarding the Bees' £40 million asking price. James Maddison, a midfielder, is also a top summer target for Tottenham.
Spurs' roster needs to be reduced in size in order to prepare for their first season without playing in Europe since 2009–10.
Hugo Lloris, the club captain, has declared his intention to leave north London this summer, despite 90 Minutes understands Tottenham has told Harry Kane he won't be transferred.
According to sources, Dier and Hojbjerg, the other two members of the squad's leadership group, will be permitted to depart.
Dier, a player for England, had been engaged in contract extension discussions, but they have since broken up. The 29-year-old struggled with injuries during the 2022–23 season, and in October he announced plans to leave Spurs and play abroad once more. As a result, his performances suffered.
In two or three years, who knows where football will take me? Dier spoke with The Times.
"I'm still young, and I still have a lot of time. I am taking care of myself. I anticipate playing abroad once more in the future, but there is no timetable for it. It would be great to play football again in a different way.
During the first half of the 2022–23 season, Hojbjerg was among Spurs' best players and contributed to a number of crucial goals, including the game-winning goal against Marseille in stoppage time that helped Spurs win their Champions League group.
The Dane has played an astounding 145 games in just three seasons for Tottenham, but Postecoglou is not currently understood to have ambitions for him and may sell him.
As the club's rebirth takes shape, the Australian is willing to let go of a handful of first-team players and put Davinson Sanchez up for sale.
