Tottenham Hotspur have announced their retained list after the 24/25 season came to a close.
Ange Postecoglou’s men had a disappointing end to the season as they failed to chase Aston Villa down in their bid to secure Champions League football.
As a result, the North London club will play in the Europa League next season.
Ahead of the new campaign, Spurs have confirmed the list of players who will be leaving.
The likes of Eric Dier, Ryan Sessegnon, Ivan Perisic and Japhet Tanganga will all depart following the expiration of their contracts.
A statement from the club said: “We can confirm the departures of Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga following the conclusion of their contracts. We said farewell to both Eric and Ivan in January as they headed off to join their new clubs, initially on loan.
“Following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season, we now bid farewell to Ryan and Japhet. We thank Eric, Ivan, Ryan and Japhet for their service to the Club and wish them all the very best for the future.”
Dier left Spurs during the January transfer window to sign for German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on loan, reuniting with former teammate Harry Kane.
Since moving to Bavaria, Dier made a total of 20 appearances, 15 in the Bundesliga and five in the Champions League as Thomas Tuchel’s men were beaten in the semi-final by eventual winners Real Madrid.
Away from the first team, Spurs have also confirmed that Charlie Sayers and Billy Heaps from their Development Squad will depart.
In addition, Under-18s players Kieran Morgan and Han Willhoft-King have also left the club after their scholarships came to an end.
Spurs said: “We thank Charlie, Billy, Kieran, Han and their families for their hard work and dedication to our Academy and wish them well for the future.”
Tottenham Hotspur have shifted a few players already this summer, but they need to trim a bit more fat from their squad.
Indeed, while the likes of Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele have already left, there are some other players who Spurs need to ditch.
One player who seemingly isn’t in Spurs’ plans at the moment in Sergio Reguilon, and speaking on Playback, Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on the Spaniard’s future, claiming that the full-back is definitely leaving Tottenham in this transfer window.
This comes shortly after the defender was actually pictured back in first-team training ahead of the new season.
Sergio Reguilon will leave Tottenham
Romano shared what he knows about Reguilon.
“Sergio Reguilon back to Manchester United? At the moment I don’t have this one, but Sergio Reguilon has to leave Tottenham. He’s not a part of Tottenham’s plans, so Reguilon will leave this summer for sure,” Romano said.
Reguilon needs replacing
Sergio Reguilon will leave Tottenham this summer, but he will need replacing at Spurs.
Spurs are light at left-back at the moment. Ryan Sessegnon and Ivan Perisic have both left the club in recent months, and now, Reguilon is going.
Of course, Destiny Udogie will be the first choice in that left-back slot this season, but the Italian did pick up an injury towards the end of the campaign, and that proved to be a problem.
Micky van de Ven proved that he can play at left-back towards the end of last season, but, ideally, Tottenham will find a proper deputy for Udogie and Van de Ven will be allowed to play in his more natural centre-back role whenever he’s fit and available.
The £27m man is leaving the club, but Spurs will need a new left-back in this window.
