Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking at an overhaul in the right-back position.
There could be big changes for Tottenham Hotspur at right-back next season.
Sky Sports report Spurs are looking to sell both Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier.
The report claims Tottenham would like to sign 29-year-old right-back Hiroki Sakai.
The overhaul would leave 22-year-old prospect Kyle Walker-Peters as the big winner.
Walker-Peters is at the stage now where he deserves to get a crack at starting regularly for Tottenham.
Sakai would be coming in as back-up, rather than as first choice.
That’s why Spurs fans should not panic about their unusual plan to sign a player who is 29.
He would be there to provide competition and keep Walker-Peters honest.
It would be harder for Aurier or Trippier to revert to backing up the youngster, and it also makes financial sense to try and cash in on both.
