Danny Rose could leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is ready to let Danny Rose leave this summer – but his wages are proving a real problem.

Rose, 28, enjoyed a strong end to the season as he nailed down the left back spot under Pochettino, playing well in the run to the Champions League too.

The England international has two years left on this deal at Spurs, but given that he’s about to turn 29, many believe Rose could be sold to make room for a younger left back.

It’s now claimed that Pochettino would offload Rose in order to get in Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon, but Rose’s £80,000-a-week wages are proving an issue for interested Premier League clubs.

Recently, The Mirror claimed that Everton were interested in signing Rose, but more in the sense of them wanting him if Tottenham came calling for Toffees star Lucas Digne.

Everton wouldn’t go and sign Rose with Digne in place, so unless that strange Digne move comes to fruition, it seems unlikely that we’ll see Rose moving to Goodison Park.

His upturn in form towards the end of the season may tempt a top six club to make a move, and whilst Tottenham wouldn’t love to sell to a direct rival, they did with Kyle Walker and Manchester City in 2017.

There aren’t tons of spots for Rose, given his wages and his age, and whilst Pochettino may be keen to offload him, he may well face a wait as clubs seemingly pursue other options.
