Harry Redknapp will listen to offers for up to 14 players this summer as he looks to slash the wage bill at Tottenham Hotspur and pave the way for impact signings. The manager is prepared to sell the goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and either Roman Pavlyuchenko or Jermain Defoe, and a host of fringe players.

They are Ben Alnwick, Alan Hutton, Kyle Naughton, Sébastien Bassong, David Bentley, Jermaine Jenas, Wilson Palacios, Niko Kranjcar, Jamie O'Hara, Giovani dos Santos and Robbie Keane. The manager does, though, want to keep Carlo Cudicini and Jonathan Woodgate, whose current contracts are set to expire. He will offer Cudicini one more year and Woodgate, who has chronic injury problems, a pay‑as‑you‑play deal.

Redknapp spent much of last week on scouting missions to France and he believes that he could also plunder from the relegated Premier League clubs; he wants Scott Parker from West Ham United, Ben Foster and Roger Johnson from Birmingham City, and he is an admirer of Blackpool's Charlie Adam.

One of the drivers for what will be a busy summer at White Hart Lane is the Premier League's 25-man senior squad rule. When Tottenham's returning loanees are factored in, plus those who no longer qualify as supplementary under-21 players, including Gareth Bale and Sandro, Redknapp has a total of 32 players.

The chairman, Daniel Levy, has already stressed the imperative to "streamline" the bloated number but it might be difficult to shift those on big wages, such as Keane, and/or agree fees for players who cost large sums; Levy is notoriously reluctant to accept a loss. He sanctioned fees of £15m for Bentley, £12m apiece for Keane and Palacios, £9m for Hutton, £8m for Bassong and £7.8m for Gomes.

Gomes, who has made a series of high-profile errors, is interested in a return to PSV Eindhoven, according the club's sporting director, Marcel Brands. "Gomes has let me know he is interested in a return to PSV," Brands said, of the Brazilian who spent four seasons at the club. "I have let him know I will look at what we can do for each other. His contract only has one year left to run. There is not much more to say at the moment."

Defoe, who cost £15m when he returned from Portsmouth, is fuming at his lack of opportunity at Tottenham and he has indicated that he is prepared to seek a fresh challenge. Pavlyuchenko, the £13.8m signing from Spartak Moscow, has a more laid-back attitude but Redknapp's priority is a top-class new striker and he is expected to ship out either Defoe or Pavlyuchenko to create the space.

Keane would have turned his loan deal at West Ham United into a permanent £6m transfer if the club had avoided relegation and he now expects to be on the move elsewhere. "It has been a frustrating season for me but that is the past now," Keane said. "I will go back and see what happens. I have only got one year left [at Tottenham] so I am sure they will probably want to do business on me."
