TOTTENHAM boss Ange Postecoglou wants to axe at least TEN players in the summer transfer window, according to reports.
Spurs endured a torrid 2022/23 campaign as they finished eighth in the Premier League table - missing out on European football altogether.
Now they are embarking on a new chapter after Postecoglou, 57, succeeded Antonio Conte as the Lilywhites' permanent boss.
Lucas Moura has already left after his contract expired.
And he could be joined by as many as ten other unwanted players in Postecoglou's squad.

According to The Mail, Davinson Sanchez, Japhet Tanganga, Joe Rodon and Sergio Reguilon are set for loan or permanent moves as Spurs look to get rid of their outcast defenders.
Midfielder Harry Winks is another expected to be released as his contract runs out at the end of the month.
And youngster Alfie Devine is in line to be farmed out on loan in search of more game time.
Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele, who were on loan at Villarreal and Napoli last season, will almost certainly be shown the exit door.
Ivan Perisic's time could also be up, just one year after being signed by Conte.

And centre-back Eric Dier is the 10th potential departure before the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
However, it is more likely Dier, 29, will leave when his contract expires in 2024.
Outside of Postecoglou's list of expected departures, Harry Kane has been linked with Real Madrid and Manchester United - but looks set to stay as he enters the final 12 months of his deal.
Son Heung-min was attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, but it is unlikely he will leave this summer.
