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.

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

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.
