It seems to be sacking season in the Premier League this week, after Sean Dyche lost his job at Nottingham Forest just days after Thomas Frank departed Tottenham Hotspur, although it hasn't stopped the transfer rumour mill from flowing.
He may not be the only name to leave north London come the summer, as one of Spurs' key players continues to be linked with an exit, while Chelsea and Manchester United appear to already be plotting major moves to upgrade their respective squads.

LaLiga giants enter race to sign Tottenham captain Cristian Romero
Spurs defender Cristian Romero has once again been linked with a move to Spain, though this time, it's LaLiga rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona thought to be joining Atletico in the race to sign him.
It's claimed that the Argentina international is unhappy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is keen to leave at the next available opportunity, per reports.
The north Londoners will not want to sell their captain cheaply, with his current value thought to be in the region of £51 million, perhaps a fee that Real Madrid could only afford.
The 27-year-old is under contract until 2029, but it certainly seems like his future is going to lie away from the Premier League come the 2026/27 campaign.
Chelsea rival Bayern Munich for Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen
Chelsea are set to launch a move for Brighton and Hove Albion shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen amid interest from European heavyweights Bayern Munich, according to TEAMtalk.
The 23-year-old's form on the south coast has sparked interest from across the continent, with Newcastle United and Spurs also mooted with interest, but their likely lack of European football next season puts them at the back of the queue.
Bayern have been scouting the Netherlands international since the summer, when they first enquired about his signature, but the Blues are now considering a major push of their own.
Co-sporting director Ben Winstanley used to be at the Amex Stadium and carried out extensive work on Verbruggen during his time at Brighton.
The Seagills are said to be demanding a £50 million fee, in which Chelsea are reportedly happy to pay.
Man Utd eye summer swoop for Everton star Iliman Ndiaye
Man Utd have emerged as the front-runners in the race to sign Everton forward Illiman Ndiaye this summer.
Emerging reports claim the Red Devils view the Senegal international as an ideal target to replace Marcus Rashford, should he leave Old Trafford permanently at the end of the season.
Arsenal and Chelsea are among the Premier League rivals also keen on signing Ndiaye, and it's believed that the Toffees won't accept anything under an initial offer of £70 million.
Given his versatility and quality in the final third, it's no surprise to see many top-flight teams consider a move for the 25-year-old star.
