As the transfer window inches closer to shutting, Tottenham Hotspur is in a flurry of activity. The North London club is looking to offload several players, either permanently or on loan, to streamline the squad and possibly make room for new arrivals. Here’s a comprehensive look at the players who might be heading for the exit.
Sergio Reguilon: A Sudden Shift to Manchester United
Sergio Reguilon seems to be on the verge of a loan move to Manchester United. Initially, United were eyeing Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, but have now shifted their focus to the Spurs left-back. The deal is said to be so advanced that Reguilon has been granted permission to travel for a medical. Interestingly, United are pushing for a clause that would allow them to terminate the loan deal in January, adding a layer of complexity to the negotiations.
Bryan Gil: Lyon Bound with Full Wages Covered
Young winger Bryan Gil is set to join Lyon on loan, with the French club agreeing to cover 100% of his wages. This could be a win-win for both parties, offering Gil the chance for more game time and Lyon an exciting talent to bolster their attack.
Japhet Tanganga: Off to Augsburg
Recent reports also suggest that German side Augsburg is in advanced talks for Tanganga, with a loan plus option deal being discussed. It’s a high-stakes situation that could go either way.
Tottenham and Augsburg are expected to reach an agreement in the range of approximately €10m for Japhet Tanganga’s loan + option.
Hugo Lloris: Napoli or Retirement?
Veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is reportedly in talks with Napoli, but he is also contemplating retirement. It’s a pivotal moment for Lloris, who has to decide whether to extend his playing career or hang up his gloves.
Eric Dier: A Season on the Sidelines?
Eric Dier faces a tough decision. He wants to see out his contract, which could mean spending a season on the sidelines. While clubs are interested in signing him permanently, a loan move is off the table as far as Tottenham are concerned. Currently, Bournemouth is in talks with the English defender.
Dane Scarlett: Ipswich Loan After Contract Extension
Young striker Dane Scarlett has extended his contract with Tottenham until 2027 and will spend the 2023/24 season on loan at Ipswich Town. Ipswich’s manager Kieran McKenna praised Scarlett’s finishing ability and work ethic, indicating that he could be a key player for them this season.
James Maddison & International Call-Ups
In brighter news, midfielder James Maddison has been named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming international fixtures. However, Giovani Lo Celso misses out on the Argentina squad due to injury, while Cristian Romero makes the cut.
Conclusion
Tottenham’s transfer activities are far from over, and the final days of the window promise to be hectic. Whether it’s loans with buy options, last-minute permanent deals, or players running down their contracts, Spurs are in for an eventful close to the transfer season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window drama unfolds.
