Tottenham Hotspur are set for the busiest summer in the club's recent history, following a drab campaign that is rapidly turning sourer. 

Spurs went into the weekend's fixture away to Newcastle United knowing that victory would bring them closer to Champions League football – but were hammered 6-1 by the Toon. The disastrous display was capped off by midfielder Pape Sarr exiting the field after 20 minutes before Hugo Lloris was substituted at half-time. 

Betfair now place chairman Daniel Levy at 7/4 to leave this summer, as the Evening Standard states that Tottenham are "preparing for an overhaul of the squad in the summer".

Football.london are reporting that Daniel Levy's future is in the balance as the Spurs fans revolt against the chairman. Captain Lloris meanwhile, who shipped five first-half goals at St. James' Park, is to leave according to GiveMeSport.

Kane, meanwhile, cut an unhappy figure despite scoring a consolation goal in the defeat – and now looks ready to depart after 19 years as a Lilywhite, boy and man. This is despite Tottenham wanting to sign him to a longer deal.

The Telegraph's Luke Edwards told BBC Radio 5 Live that Kane looks like a player who "wants out" – potentially funding the rebuild this summer.

"Harry Kane looks like a player who wants out," Edwards said. "He did OK as a player, but as a leader he was absent. There is something very rotten."

Other Tottenham stars have come under fire this season and now face uncertain futures, too. Richarlison is yet to score a Premier League goal since a £60 million move, Dejan Kulusevski's loan deal has not been completed permanently yet, while Davinson Sanchez was substituted on and off last weekend against Bournemouth, throwing his future into doubt. 

Tottenham are fifth in the table, six points behind fourth, having played two games more.
