Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he has spoken to a trio of his players regarding their future at Tottenham Hotspur.

Alex Pritchard, Federico Fazio and Nabil Bentaleb were all left out of Pochettino's squad for the pre-season trip to Australia for the International Champions Cup, casting doubt over their respective roles going forward with Spurs.

Regarding the situation of out-of-favour threesome, Pochettino indicated that they are all free to find new clubs in the current transfer window.

"The situation of the three players, Fazio, Pritchard and Bentaleb - it is very clear that they are not in my plans," he said in Melbourne.

"They know.

"I communicate with them and it's not a problem. They know the situation."

Winger Pritchard is being linked with Swansea City, defender Fazio has attracted interest from Italian and Spanish clubs, most notably Pochettino's former side Espanyol, while midfielder Bentaleb is on the radar of Portuguese giants Benfica.
