5. Tom Carroll

If I’m completely honest, I’m surprised Tom Carroll is still with Tottenham. I thought it was highly probable that he’d be granted a move away from the club this summer.

Despite heavy interest from several smaller Premier League clubs, he’s still a Spurs player. I wouldn’t bet on seeing him in any meaningful action this year. He’s likely to be limited to lesser Cup ties.

That means he’s a solid candidate to be sold in January. If Harry Winks and Josh Onomah continue to progress, he’s going to become quite expendable very fast. That doesn’t even begin to account for the possible emergence of someone like Marcus Edwards.

January will be time for Carroll to seek regular first team football elsewhere. He’s got the ability to be a Premier League regular, just not with Tottenham. Be advised fellow Spurs fans, you’ve only got a few months left to fawn all over the slight English midfielder.
