Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has reportedly put nine of the club's players up for sale as he begins work to trim his squad ahead of the new season.
Spurs have been active in the summer transfer market, bringing in the likes of Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence. But in order to balance the books, players will need to leave and Conte is now ready to wield the axe and trim his squad down.
It comes as the summer transfer exodus has begun with two players moving out on loan for the season. And Bryan Gil may get his chance in the Tottenham squad in the Premier League opening day game against Southampton thanks to an FA decision.
