Tottenham ready to axe FIVE first-team stars this summer including Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose


TOTTENHAM are ready to flog five first-team stars to fund a squad overhaul this summer, according to reports.

Money has been tight for Mauricio Pochettino as Spurs prepare to move into their new home next season.

And the Mirror claims Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Mousa Dembele, Fernando Llorente and Moussa Sissoko are on the chopping block.

Pochettino has hinted his project could be continued by another manager amid reports Chelsea and Real Madrid are lining up a swoop.

But the Argie, 46, could be persuaded to stay if he is given cash to spend.

Alderweireld, 28, has been demanding a huge pay rise and with Spurs unwilling to meet his demands may be forced to cash in.

The Belgian international – whose contract runs out at the end of next season – has also been linked with Los Blancos.

Rose, meanwhile, has been edging towards an exit ever since the 27-year-old’s explosive interview with The Sun.

Dembele, 31, has been struggling with injuries and could look to thrive at a lower level, while 28-year-old Sissoko has struggled to make an impact despite being given plenty of chances.

Fernando Llorente, 31, has largely been used as a back-up to Harry Kane and is expendable.
