Tottenham's 25-man Premier League squad
Tottenham's 25-man Premier League squad for the 2023-24 season has been finalized. Notable inclusions are Hugo Lloris, despite previously expressing his desire to leave the club, and Eric Dier, who faced criticism for his inclusion. A late flurry of transfer activity, including David Son Sanchez's move to Galatasaray, eliminated the need for any players to be cut from the squad.
