“?Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has let three players know that they could leave the club this summer, according to a report in the “?Daily Mail.
The manager has confirmed that Nabil Bentaleb, Alex Pritchard and Federico Fazio have no future at White Hart Lane, also refusing to rule out an exit for Clinton N’jie.
All four players have been left behind, with the club heading to Australia for one week for pre-season activities.
Pochettino revealed that N’jie – who has been linked with a move to Ligue 1 club Marseille – was suffering with a minor injury, but the other three are as good as gone.
“N’jie is injured,” said the Argentinian tactician.
“He picked up a small injury a few days after the start of preseason and for that, he is in London and was not available to come.
“The situation of other three players – Bentaleb, Fazio and Pritchard – is very clear. They are not in my plans and they know. I have communicated with them and it was made very clear. It’s not a problem.
“They know the situation and we’ll see what happens.”
Pritchard has emerged as a target for Swansea City, who are believed to be readying an £8m bid for the midfielder. Championship clubs Newcastle, Norwhich and Leeds are also thought to be interested in signing the English midfielder.
As for Bentaleb, Tottenham are reportedly open to a loan deal, and have considered sending him to Portuguese outfit Benfica on a season-long loan next term.
Fazio hasn’t been linked to any other club so far, but given the recent announcement, he should be soon.
