Tottenham Hotspur have already decided to let a "powerful" young player leave this summer, according to one pundit, who claims to have knowledge on the situation and the Lilywhites' plans for him.
Players who could leave Tottenham this summer
A host of Spurs exits could take place this summer, including for manager Ange Postecoglou, who is facing an uncertain future at N17 amid an underwhelming second season in charge of the club.
There are even reports that Tottenham are ready to change managers and considering Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi, but apart from their head coach, a few players could soon see the Spurs axe swing their way as well.
Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Whiteman and Fraser Forster will depart after their contracts expire on June 30th, while it is believed that Tottenham are prepared to sanction Manor Solomon's exit for pure profit after his excellent loan spell at Leeds United.
Richarlison is attracting serious interest from former club Everton, according to GiveMeSport, with chairman Daniel Levy ready to green-light a cut-price transfer for the Brazilian, following a campaign which has been blighted by injury.
Timo Werner is widely expected to return to parent club RB Leipzig after his temporary stint from RB Leipzig, with the winger failing to convince Spurs chiefs to activate the £8.5 million buy option in his deal.
There is also uncertainty surrounding Bryan Gil's long-term future at Spurs, as Girona have an option to buy the player after his loan, but it is unclear whether the La Liga side will trigger it, look to negotiate a lower fee with the north Londoners or allow him to make an N17 return.
Tottenham are also set to make key decisions with regard to their academy players, and one has already been made on young winger Ekemi Umoren.
Ekemi Umoren set to leave Tottenham in June
According to pundit John Wenham, who has extensive knowledge of the Spurs academy set-up, Tottenham are set to let Umoren leave this summer after electing not to offer the Under-16s ace a scholarship contract.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham explained that he is a tall and powerful winger, but the Lilywhites may already have enough youngsters of that mould coming through. However, the club apparently deliberated this for some time, so it was a tough call to make.
“Not many people will have seen him play because he is an Under-16s player,” Wenham said.
“However, it is that time of the season where the club are deciding who is going to be offered a scholarship and who is going to be released. I know they were thinking about this player for quite some time.
“They had offered the first batch of scholarships, and this is someone who they were undecided on. However, they have now made that decision, and by making it now, it gives the player time to go and hopefully secure a scholarship elsewhere ahead of next season.
“He is a winger, tall, powerful but Tottenham obviously feel as though they have enough players with similar characteristics.”
