EIGHT Tottenham players have been released following the expiration of their contracts including Ryan Sessegnon and Ivan Perisic.
Spurs confirmed the departures on Wednesday morning as Eric Dier and Japhet Tanganga also departed the club.
The other names released are youth players Charlie Sayers, Billy Heaps, Kieran Morgan and Han Willhoft-King.
Left-back Sessegnon, 24, has been riddled with injuries that have plagued his progression ever since joining Tottenham five years ago.
