Tottenham signed off their 118-year stay at White Hart Lane with a 2-1 win over Manchester United in their final game at the famous old ground last weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men will be temporarily moving to Wembley next season as work continues on the new White Hart Lane next door to the old ground, meaning their success over Jose Mourinho’s men on Sunday brought the curtain down on a wonderful century of football and memories at Spurs’ home.

The result also saw Pochettino’s men secure second place in the Premier League this term which is their highest ever finish in the top-flight, and attentions will slowly be turning to next season and the trails and tribulations that come with it.

Yet one man who looks set to miss the start of the 2017/18 campaign is left-back Danny Rose, who today has undergone surgery on his left knee.

The left-back hasn’t featured for Tottenham since going off injured against Sunderland back in January, and now looks set for an even greater spell on the sidelines after initially returning to training, only for the problem to persist.

That news will come as a big blow to Spurs, and it may even force Pochettino to look for a replacement in the summer transfer window.

And here are THREE stars who could be the ideal replacement for Rose in the Tottenham team…

Ben Davies

The best place to start in terms of replacing Rose is from within the club, and Welsh international Ben Davies certainly fits the bill.

Rose has not featured for Spurs since their 0-0 draw with Sunderland back in January, and given that he was arguably the best full-back in the Premier League at that point, it highlights how well Davies has done in his absence.

The 24-year-old has been a consistently high performer in Pochettino’s side ever since he came into the team against Middlesbrough back in February, and since then Spurs have lost just two of the 13 league games he has featured in.

Davies would certainly be a viable option at the start of next season.

Luke Shaw

If Pochettino wants to look further afield, he may seek to reunite himself with Manchester United defender Luke Shaw.

The left-back made his name under the Spurs boss when they were together at Southampton, although the 21-year-old’s big move to Old Trafford hasn’t worked out for a variety of reasons.

And with tensions seemingly high between Shaw and United boss Jose Mourinho, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see the England star allowed to leave the club this summer, and given how well Pochettino got Shaw playing at St Mary’s, the Tottenham manager may well move for him in the summer window.

Ryan Bertrand

There have been murmurings in recent times that Southampton full-back Ryan Bertrand isn’t entirely satisfied at St Mary’s, and thus a move away this summer could become a reality.

And with Spurs without their number one choice left-back for a sustained period of time, they may well move for the England star.

Bertrand has been brilliant for the Saints since moving there back in 2014, first on loan and then permanently, from Premier League champions Chelsea, and in that time he has become a regular feature in the England squad, and has been battling with Rose for the left-back spot.

The Southampton man is clearly capable of playing at a high level, and with Rose on the sidelines for a while, Spurs may well look at the 27-year-old this summer.
