Pair of out of out-of-favour Tottenham defenders attracting interest

Out-of-favour Tottenham pair Joe Rodon and Japhet Tanganga are both attracting interest from potential suits as Spurs look to trim their squad ahead of the new season.

Neither player were among the four left out of the pre-season tour to South Korea, but it is expected that one or both would be able to leave if suitable offers came in, with neither Rodon nor Tanganga playing significant games under Antonio Conte since he took over.

▫️ Harry Winks
▫️ Sergio Reguilón
▫️ Giovani Lo Celso
▫️ Tanguy Ndombele

Potentially.

Should both players depart, as well as Harry Winks (Who was left off the tour), Spurs could have a homegrown quota issue brewing.

At the start of the transfer window, Football.London reported that the club could run into difficulties with the Champions League rules, with only having 8 players that UEFA counted as homegrown on their books.

Of those eight, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jack Clarke have both departed the club, while Fraser Forster has arrived and Djed Spence’s arrival is seemingly imminent.

This will leave Tottenham back where they started, but the departures of Tanganga and Winks would reduce this number to six, and force them to name a 23 man squad, rather than the usual 25.
