Three Tottenham players Dream Team gaffers should back this season

It’s a case of ‘all change please, all change’ for Tottenham entering the 2021-22 Premier League campaign.

The London club have a new manager at the helm in Nuno Espirito Santo and his squad is already looking considerably different.

Spurs have waved goodbye to Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela, while Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius have returned to their parent clubs.

They’ve also welcomed Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and highly-rated Sevilla winger Bryan Gil, who signed in a player-plus-cash deal worth £22.5million.

There will be no Champions League or Europa League for Tottenham this season.

Having finished in seventh, their lowest since 2009, Spurs qualified for the newly formed Europa Conference League – which will be played on Thursday nights.

Tottenham kick-start the 2021/22 campaign against champions Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 15th.

And the big question is: which of their players are worthy of a spot in our Dream Team XI?

It goes without saying that talisman Harry Kane (£7m) is the top option in the Tottenham squad – and indeed the entire game.

The 28-year-old is the most expensive player in Dream Team – £1m more than Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah (£6m) – but it could be money well spent judging by last season’s performance.

Kane scored 33 goals and provided 17 assists to register a stunning 357 points – 33 more than Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£6.5m) and nearly 100 ahead of Salah (265).

Of course, Kane’s future in North London is looking increasingly uncertain with the centre-forward failing to return to the Tottenham training ground as expected on Monday.

Spurs have offered no explanation for his absence but it could suggest that he’s drawing closer to a mega-money switch to Manchester City.

Kane’s absence could see Son Heung-min (£5m) represent the more attractive option for Dream Team gaffers having been the seventh-highest points scorer last season.

Son, who has scored 107 goals in 280 appearances, signed a new four-year contract keeping him at the club until 2025.

The 29-year-old has spearheaded Tottenham’s attack during Kane’s absence in pre-season – netting twice and providing an assist in three matches.

Lucas Moura (£2.5m) is another who’s looked good in recent friendlies and could prove a great option and differential with 0.8% of managers having selected the Brazilian.

Dele Alli (£2.5m) is the same price as Moura. Alli mustered just 50 points last year, but many are tipping the Englishman to revive his 2016-17 form, where he netted 22 goals in 50 appearances.

It’s a case of ‘wait and see’ with Tottenham’s defensive assets – especially with games against City, Chelsea and Arsenal in their opening six fixtures.

But an early punt on Sergio Reguilon (£3m) could prove fruitful.

Reguilon, 24, managed six assists in his debut campaign despite missing nine games through injury. He could also find himself being given more freedom to attack if Nuno employs his 3-5-2 formation.

The same goes for right-back Matt Doherty (£2m), who might fancy his chances of rekindling the form he showed under Nuno at Molineux.
