Danny Rose left at home by Tottenham for pre-season tour
Tottenham have confirmed Danny Rose has not travelled with the rest of the squad for the pre-season tour of Asia as he edges towards an exit from the club.
Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou have also been granted permission to stay at home and speak to other clubs, while Kieran Trippier has not travelled as he is reportedly close to joining Atletico Madrid.
Why are Spurs letting Rose leave? Five key things to know…
- Rose’s relationship with Spurs soured in the summer of 2017 when he criticised the club’s transfer policy and ambition.
- The defender apologised and was gradually reintegrated into the squad following his recovery from a knee injury.
- He has been linked with an exit ever since but Mauricio Pochettino has continued to use him regularly.
- Rose has two years remaining on his contract and it seems Spurs are keen to cash in on the 29-year-old.
- Ben Davies, who signed a new contract this month, could end up as the club’s only senior left-back.

Rose has regularly been linked with a departure over the last two seasons, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Everton all credited with an interest at different times.
