‘Things can change’ – Postecoglou on whether Spurs may have to sell big-name players
Ange Postecoglou said that while Tottenham Hotspur have formulated clear plans regarding incomings and outgoings ahead of the summer transfer window, things can change quite quickly over the coming weeks.
It is quite clear that Spurs are expected to have a busy summer as Postecoglou continues to rebuild the squad to better suit the way he wants to play.
It has been widely reported over the last few weeks that there will be a mass exodus from Hotspur Way this summer, with as many as nine first-team players already thought to be on the transfer list (Football Insider).
A lot has been written about potential new arrivals, with some reports suggesting that the Australian wants reinforcements in defence, midfield and upfront, having asked the club to bring four new faces through the door (TEAMtalk).
Tottenham do not plan on selling big-name stars
Tottenham had to deal with the difficult situation of losing Harry Kane last summer and Postecoglou insisted that while he does not anticipate something similar this window, the club need to be prepared for any eventuality.
When asked if he expects to keep hold of all the players he wants to, the 58-year-old told Football.London: “Yeah. There’s no indication [otherwise], but all those things are moving parts.
“You always understand that things can change really quickly but we’ve got a plan in place that I’m really comfortable with in terms of incomings and outgoings.
“Whether that all comes together you just never know but having clarity about what we need to do I think helps the process.”

It is quite clear that Sonny will stay and commit to a new contract and there is certainly no suggestion that any of the club’s key players would want out this summer.
However, Tottenham’s plans on which player to move on will likely change depending on who becomes available in the transfer market.
While the likes of Ben Davies and Richarlison might not have been transfer-listed, there is a decent chance that they would be sold if the club can bring certain players through the door.
