Here's what I'd do (over at least two windows):
Expiring Contact/Not Renewed:
Jan Vertonghen: Love him, but really concerned he's past it at this point. He'd probably do great in Italy.
Sell:
Christian Eriksen/Erickson/Eriksven/Ehlrichson: Inter for hopefully around 15-18m.
Victor Wanyama: Not sure if you'd get much for anymore, but would look to move on immediately.
Cameron Carter-Vickers: Not going to get a shot; move him on to a Championship club. Last I heard we were looking for 4m and Derby County might be interested.
Danny Rose: I don't care, I'm tired of him. Sell him to The Sun and let him write stories or something.
Eric Dier: Harder for me because I think he's one of the few players with some fight in him. Just not sure he can play at the level we need anymore.
Kyle Walker-Peters: He's never going to get a chance. Let someone else get use out of him.
*** I also would not be opposed to selling Winks and Foyth.
Buy:
Konrad Laimer -DM/CM - RB Leipzig: Can really do it all in midfield and would be great sitting behind Ndombele and Lo Celso. Really good interception/tackles per 90 stats.
Matty Cash - RB/RWB: If Aurier continues to play well until the end of the season, this position could actually not be a huge need. Already apparently getting interest from AC Milan and Everton, but feel like he'd be a fantastic young prospect to target (along with Tanganga's versatility, we will have plenty of cover).
Alex Grimaldo - LB - Benfica: If the plan is to move forward with the unbalanced RB/LB then Grimaldo is the perfect alternative to Davies.
Eberechi Eze - AM/Swiss-Army-Knife - Queens Park Rangers: Another talented attacker to add to the ranks.
Striker: No idea, someone who can lead the line.
Centerback: Again, no idea. Guess this depends on how Jose views Sanchez, Tanganga and Foyth. If all three of those guys are considered good enough going into next season, we should be fine.
