Will Tottenham Hotspur sell players?

Jermaine Jenas of Spurs looks on from the bench during the Barclays Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City at White Hart Lane on April 9, 2011 in London, England.

Jermaine Jenas has suggested to Yahoo! Sport that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy will sell two players.

The former Tottenham midfielder has also stated that the North London outfit cannot let go of three key figures.

Jenas has underlined the importance of manager Mauricio Pochettino, defender Toby Alderweireld and striker Harry Kane to the current Spurs team.

“There are three people at that club that it would really strike you with fear if that would left,” Jenas told Yahoo! Sport. “The manager is the first one, Harry Kane is the second and Toby Alderweireld is the third.

“I think what you have there in those three is potentially one of the best managers in European football, you’ve got a world class striker on your hands and you have one of the best central defenders in Europe.

“Around those three, I reckon they will allow a couple of players to go for the sake of the stadium, the wage structure.

“The rest of replaceable in my opinion and even if Spurs fans don’t want to hear that, I believe the strength of Mauricio is his ability to find players who fit into his team and replace players he feels he can do without.”

Tottenham have a strong squad and have some wonderful players, such as Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

With Spurs set to play at the reconstructed White Hart Lane next season, it is imperative that Pochettino’s side finish in the top four of the Premier League in 2017-18.

It is also important that Tottenham keep hold of their best players for the 2018-19 campaign and compete for the Premier League title.

Spurs are out of the Premier League title race this season, but the North London outfit are still very much in the race for a top-four finish.

Tottenham will face Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
