Tottenham Hotspur's summer transfer window has been remarkably quiet, with only one permanent signing added to the squad so far.
Ange Postecoglou and his side have already set sail on their preseason tour throughout Asia, starting in Japan, with new signing Archie Gray as the lone new face.
Despite the quiet incomings list during this transfer market so far, Spurs have been busy working on player departures.
The latest to make way was Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who moved to Marseille on Monday. The Dane's departure follows a series of sales, and more players are expected to leave in the coming weeks.

Tottenham's efforts to reduce squad numbers have been significant, with chairman Daniel Levy and manager Postecoglou working diligently to offload several players and raise funds.
Postecoglou, who took over from Antonio Conte, spent the majority of his debut season assessing the squad and has begun to have his say which is seeing a major overhaul. One player still on the market is Emerson Royal, who the club are reportedly actively trying to sell.
In addition to Emerson Royal, Bryan Gil is attracting interest from abroad.
According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are in discussions with Girona regarding a potential sale of the Spanish forward.

Gil joined Tottenham in a high-profile swap deal involving Erik Lamela plus $25 million but has spent much of his time at the club out on loan.
There was significant excitement surrounding his signing, however, Gil has failed to make an impact in north London, not scoring a single goal for Spurs in three years.
While Gil's stint at Spurs has so far been underwhelming, Postecoglou was positive when asked about him last season: "He could be really important for us."
Despite the Australian manager's optimism, Gil's departure now seems imminent, marking the end of a disappointing chapter for both the player and the club.
As Tottenham continue their preseason preparations, the focus remains on refining the squad and potentially adding new talent to bolster their depth before the transfer window closes.
