da aviator aposta： Tottenham may have got back to winning ways in fine fashion on Tuesday but that hasn’t changed the thinking of Mauricio Pochettino, who still wants to get rid of several players at the club, according to The Daily Mail.
What’s the latest?
There are many players in Spurs’ squad whose futures remain under a cloud of doubt, with Christian Eriksen and Danny Rose both having questioned their future at the club in the past.
The pair are reportedly on Pochettino’s list of players he wants out of the club, which also includes Victor Wanyama, Eric Dier and Serge Aurier, all of whom have had a troubling 12 months.
Wanyama was close to joining Club Brugge over the summer but despite that the Kenyan is still keen on fighting for his place in the Argentine’s squad, though the addition of Tanguy Ndombele makes that a more difficult task.
Spurs continue to be linked with new additions, with Everton Soares and Max Aarons amongst the latest names, as Pochettino is reportedly keen to add “athleticism and energy” to his squad, possibly in a bid to get his side back to their pressing best.
Necessary step
There has been a lot of discussion about whether the Spurs boss needs to make the bold call to get rid of his long-serving players, many of whom are now letting him down.
The likes of Wanyama and Dier have struggled with fitness and made only 22 league starts between them last term, with Danny Rose and Serge Aurier also coming under scrutiny from fans due to their lacklustre performances.

As a result, Pochettino needs to have a clearout. It would mark a change of pace and a ruthlessness he had when he first arrived in 2014, when he soon got rid of first-team players such as Emmanuel Adebayor and Aaron Lennon.
That allowed him to rebuild the squad and he may have to do so once again, as other than the win against weaker European opposition in midweek Spurs have been stuck in a rut, with players said to be disillusioned too.
Out of the players listed Christian Eriksen would be the most stand-out departure, but even his loss wouldn’t impact the squad too significantly, particularly if their continued interest in Bruno Fernandes results in him joining the club.
