The future of every Tottenham player reveal extent of Ange Postecoglou rebuild with 17 to depart

The first major task for Ange Postecoglou as the new Tottenham Hotspur head coach will be to greatly reduce a bloated squad in order to shape it into the one he needs.

It's clear that the squad cobbled together for Antonio Conte and the previous Spurs managers is not fit for purpose for the 57-year-old Australian's 4-3-3 system which requires attack-minded midfielders in front of a pivot, inverted full-backs and a central striker role that requires plenty of running.

The lack of European fixtures also means there is little need for Postecoglou to have a squad of more than 25 players, supplemented by academy talent, so with a need to bring in various new players in this summer transfer window to fit Postecoglou's system, decisions must be made on a large number of the current squad in the weeks ahead.
