Tottenham have recorded an excellent start to the season, as they currently top the Premier League table. Besides, they have the best defensive record in the league while only Chelsea and Liverpool have scored more goals.
However, head coach Jose Mourinho has big decisions to make on several players’ futures, many of whom were mainstays of the side under Mauricio Pochettino.
So here are six Spurs stars who could be on the move next month.
Paulo Gazzaniga

The Argentine goalkeeper had proved himself an able deputy to Hugo Lloris after arriving from Southampton in the summer of 2017. However, that still didn’t stop Mourinho from signing Joe Hart in the summer.
“The Gazzaniga situation, with Hugo and Joe we believe that for the next couple of months we can do it with an academy goalkeeper, with a young English kid,” Mourinho said of the 28-year-old’s omission.
Gazzaniga hasn’t even made a match-day squad this season. A January departure appears inevitable, Liverpool and Everton have
previously been linked.
Danny Rose

The England international enters the final six months of his contract in January, and could be allowed to leave Tottenham for nothing if the right approach is made.
Rose was not included in Spurs’ Premier League and Europa League squads, and his only sporadic appearances this term have come for the club’s Under-23s.
Davinson Sanchez
Sports Mole
This season has been quite difficult for Sanchez. He has not made a Premier League appearance since the middle of October and was overlooked for the 0-0 draw with Chelsea last weekend, with Joe Rodon instead thrown in for his full Premier League debut at Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho has, for reasons he hasn’t outlined, decided he can’t rely on the 24-year-old. And if the right offer was made in January, you sense the Portuguese wouldn’t be against letting the defender move on.
Harry Winks

Winks is reportedly
unhappy with his lack of minutes in the Premier League this season. And that’s no surprise given he’s mustered just 257 of them.
First-team chances may be offered in the coming month with games coming thick and fast, but if Winks remains on the periphery going into January, then a move away, either on loan or permanently, can’t be ruled out.
Dele Alli

Alli has played just 66 minutes in the Premier League this season.
Paris Saint-Germain had loan offers for Alli rejected in the summer – by Daniel Levy, not Mourinho – and his future is again likely to be the subject of speculation in the January window.
“I don’t make decisions about selling a, b or c, or letting d, e or f go on loan,” Mourinho said earlier this week.
“I don’t have any problem with Dele. I don’t have any problems with anyone.
"I’m really happy I don’t have personal issues with any of my players. Players are happier when they play. They’re not happy when they don’t play and I don’t blame them."
Jack Clarke

The young forward spent the second half of last season at Queens Park Rangers. The 20-year-old opted to remain with Spurs in the summer and made his debut against LASK in the Europa League. He then featured for 20 minutes in the win over Ludogorets.
As Clarke needs game time to improve and fulfil his potential, a loan move in January wouldn’t come as a surprise.
