DEJAN EXCLUSIVE: ‘I WANT TO LEAVE TOTTENHAM … I KNEW I WASN’T READY FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE’AND EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTS TO GO HAS BEEN REVEALED

Tottenham reportedly approved mass evictions over the summer
Two sources believe Dejan Kulusevski and Spurs’ “best midfielder” are also among those eliminated
The Telegraph recently reported that Tottenham are set to continue their relentless run this summer by axing several underperforming first-team stars
This development was at the request of coach Ange Postecoglou, who called for drastic changes
“We have to change this team,” Coach Postecoglou said
“We have to do that because we have to build a team that we think can play our football
For this to be successful, there must be an exit
The Spurs manager later added: “We need change, change has to happen
” “I can’t change the direction of this club dramatically, because I We’ve been going in one direction and now we’re going in a completely different direction and we’re assuming the same people are there
That’s not going to happen for us
There was a window and we definitely saw some growth in the players, but when I say there’s still a long way to go, that’s exactly what I mean
” He concluded: I’m trying
It’s just that we play a certain way, train a certain way, have a certain attitude, and that doesn’t suit everyone
“And it’s the same whether it’s Liverpool or Arsenal, if you look at the early part of their careers, when they’re competitive and successful, the teams are almost unrecognizable”
Tottenham’s new signings Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur have started life in North London with their first training session with the club
The pair arrived from Juventus on deadline day and are the first signings of the Antonio Conte era
Spurs will be hoping they can help the club finish in the top four this season
Kulusevski started training with his new teammates on Thursday, ahead of Bentancur, who was on international duty earlier this week playing for Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier
Conte downplayed expectations that the new signings would be included in the squad straight away for Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Brighton, but hinted they could play a role off the bench
“Both players are fit, so they will definitely be available tomorrow,” Conte said in his pre-Brighton press conference on Friday
“It’s not right in my opinion to start the match because they have to work with the team for a while
” “Again, these two players should help us a lot
It was no secret that Tottenham wanted to add a right-back to their squad in January, but their attempt failed
The idea is to bring him to North London and use him in this position
