With Tottenham Hotspur ending their season in chaos and a second interim manager in charge, there is uncertainty over who will be in the squad come next season when Daniel Levy hopes to have a new appointment.

Levy spent more than £150 million last summer and also brought in loans for Antonio Conte, whose verdict on his squad before leaving was damning. Spurs’ new manager will be expected to ask for some new faces which would lead to players offloaded to balance the books.

It will be a tough summer in the transfer market with a new manager and also director of football Fabio Paratici leaving the club last week following his Fifa ban for false accounting when he was at Juventus.

They have players that have been in the top four for parts of the season but can also collapse dramatically as they did at the weekend against Newcastle United.
