Trippier 'one of eight Spurs players facing axe'

Full-backs Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose are reportedly on their way out of Tottenham Hotspur as part of a big rebuild project being taken on by Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to offload as many as eight first-team squad members, with Kieran Trippier among those that could be on their way out.

The Lilywhites are in the process of reshaping their squad ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, having already broken their transfer record to bring in Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon.

Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso have been tipped to follow from Fulham and Real Betis respectively, but players will have to be moved on to help balance the books.

According to the Daily Mail, Trippier will be the highest-profile casualty as his four-year spell in North London appears to be coming to an end.

Serge Aurier, Victor Wanyama, Vincent Janssen and long-serving full-back Danny Rose are also apparently deemed surplus to requirements, while youngsters Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josh Onomah and Marcus Edwards have been told to find new clubs.

Tottenham finished fourth in the Premier League last season and reached the final of the Champions League.
