Tottenham Hotspur have announced a massive summer clear‑out, with 12 players confirmed to leave the club as the 2025/26 campaign draws to a close. The exodus includes midfield stalwart Yves Bissouma and several academy graduates, underscoring manager Robert De Zerbi’s intent to reshape a side that finished 17th in the Premier League.
Who left Tottenham Hotspur?
The most high‑profile departure is Mali international Yves Bissouma, whose contract expired on June 30. The club thanked him for 111 appearances after a £30 million move from Brighton in 2022. Injuries limited him to 11 games this season, with his last appearance on January 17 in a 2‑1 loss to West Ham.
In addition, Brazilian side Bahia secured Alejo Veliz on a permanent deal effective July 1, after his loan spell at Rosario Central. Ten academy players also walked away: Under‑21s Pele Arganese‑McDermott, Tyrell Ashcroft, Leo Black, Dante Cassanova, Matthew Craig and Calum Logan; plus four Under‑18s, including Elijah Upson who turned down a new contract. The remaining names are Jamel Beggs, Samal Bangura and Leon Myrtaj.
What does this mean for the squad?
De Zerbi’s third managerial stint this season has already seen a flurry of activity. While the club lost a dozen players, it also secured free‑agents Marcos Senesi, Andrew Robertson and Martin Dubravka, and completed the £52 million signing of Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton. These moves aim to plug gaps left by the departures and improve a side that scored 48 goals but conceded 57, leaving a –9 goal difference.
How does the league picture look?
Tottenham sit 17th in the Premier League with 41 points from 38 games (10 W‑11 D‑17 L). Recent form reads W‑L‑D‑W‑W, offering a glimmer of hope as the club battles to stay clear of the relegation zone. They remain 44 points behind leaders Arsenal, highlighting the scale of the task ahead.
| Statistic | Value |

| League standing | 17th (41 pts) |
| Recent form | W L D W W |
| Goals scored | 48 |
| Goals conceded | 57 |
| Goal difference | –9 |
| Gap to leaders | 44 pts |
What’s next for Tottenham Hotspur?
With the transfer window open, De Zerbi is expected to add depth, especially in midfield and defense, to avoid another relegation scare. Fans will be watching the integration of new signings and the development of remaining academy prospects. The club’s ability to turn free‑agent acquisitions into immediate impact could dictate whether they climb the table or linger near the bottom.
The summer departures mark a clear signal: Tottenham Hotspur are not shy about reshaping the roster. Whether the incoming talent can reverse a season that saw them finish just two points above the drop zone remains to be seen.
