Tottenham player expects summer transfer amid club relegation fears
An unnamed Tottenham Hotspur player has reportedly told his teammates he is unconcerned by the club’s relegation battle because he expects to leave this summer.
The north London club find themselves in a deepening crisis, sitting just one point above the Premier League drop zone.
Spurs remain without a domestic victory in 2026 and face a daunting trip to Liverpool on Sunday.
Interim manager Igor Tudor has endured a disastrous start to his tenure, losing all four of his matches in charge since replacing the dismissed Thomas Frank last month.
Squad divisions and mounting frustration
While several squad members remain committed to preserving Tottenham’s top-flight status, they have reportedly voiced frustration over the poor application of certain colleagues.
According to the Athletic, one individual has privately admitted that the threat of Championship football does not bother him due to a guaranteed upcoming transfer.
This internal apathy compounds a miserable week for the club following a humiliating 5-2 Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Senior stars fail to deliver
The team’s established international players have struggled to provide leadership during this turbulent period.
Argentine World Cup winner Cristian Romero has only recently returned from a four-match suspension, while reports in his homeland suggest he has already decided to depart at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, lightning-fast defender Micky van de Ven was fortunate to avoid consecutive red cards in recent fixtures and is reportedly keen to secure a move that guarantees elite European competition.
Goalkeeping crisis deepens
The goalkeeping department has also become a major source of instability for the struggling outfit.
Regular number one Guglielmo Vicario was dramatically dropped by Tudor for the clash in the Spanish capital amid rumours the Italian is desperate for a return to Serie A.
That managerial decision backfired catastrophically when his replacement, Antonin Kinsky, committed two glaring errors and was substituted just 17 minutes into his first Champions League start.
Regardless of which division they compete in next season, a monumental squad overhaul appears inevitable in north London.
