Here, we take a look at which of Tottenham's seven wing-backs could stay at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under the new head coach this summer or potentially move on elsewhere
Tottenham are certainly limited in terms of wing-backs on either flank at present, with injuries hitting Cristian Stellini's side hard. Once Spurs have everyone fit and three of their players have returned from their loan spells elsewhere, the Lilywhites do have some very exciting options to choose from.
A huge summer for the club with the squad requiring a much-needed refresh, we could well see a bit of movement in the position ahead of next season with the new head coach getting his plans in place for August. So who could stay and who could go? football.london takes a look at all seven players below.
Now having Pedro Porro to contend with for the position on the right following the Spaniard's January move from Sporting CP, Emerson will be out to make the position his own next season, If the new man at the helm comes in and switches to a back four, that could suit Emerson down to the ground due to his previous experience in the role.
Verdict: Keep
Always going to be a tough ask for the experienced player to get to grips with the pace and intensity of the Premier League, Spurs have a decision to make over the Croat going into next season. Destiny Udogie's return from his season on loan with Udinese could knock the player down the pecking order and, given his age and contract, the club may elect to look towards the future instead.
Verdict: Sell
Injuries have once again hampered Sessegnon throughout the season, with the player not featuring for Tottenham since February due to another hamstring issue. When fit, the ex-Fulham man did get a decent amount of football under his belt for Antonio Conte, starting 14 of his 23 appearances in all competitions.
This summer will mark four years since his move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the club have still yet to get the best out of him with injuries severely restricting his playing time. Sessegnon may have to contend with a bit-part role if he is to remain in north London this summer, with his homegrown status maybe a key factor as it does help Spurs out when it comes to naming their 25-man squad.
Verdict: Keep
Verdict: Keep
Spence will be determined to impress the new man at the helm this summer and get his Tottenham career up and running. If he is to be behind Emerson and Porro in the pecking order, though, another loan move could come to fruition just so he can get the minutes under his belt he requires.
Verdict: Loan move if third in the pecking order
Out of favour under Conte and given the green light to move on, Reguilon has endured a nightmare season through injury after returning to Spain with Atletico Madrid. Only making five appearances in total for Diego Simeone's side, the 2023/24 campaign really is huge for the left-back as he looks to get his career back on track.
Verdict: Sell
Verdict: Keep
