Tottenham’s summer has already carried the feel of a club trying to reset the dial, and the latest developments suggest the rebuild is about far more than headline arrivals. According to Football London, Spurs are preparing a major clear-out that could generate as much as £222m, a figure that underlines the scale of the ambition in north London.

If those deals are completed as outlined, Tottenham will be well on their way to raising around £77m before the bigger…
