The first of these departures is 37-year-old reserve goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who joined the club in 2022 from Southampton.
He has played 34 times for the north London club, including 13 times this season.
Sergio Reguilon is also leaving the club after joining them in 2020.
The Spaniard has been on loan with Atletico Madrid, Manchester United and most recently, Brentford last season during his time at Spurs.
Overall the 28-year-old played 73 times for the club, scoring twice and assisting nine goals.
Goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman came through the club's academy but only ever made one appearance for the first team - a Europa League win over Ludogorets in November 2020.
The 26-year-old has had two loan spells with Swedish side Degerfors IF.
Meanwhile, the club have opted against making Timo Werner 's loan transfer from RB Leipzig into a permanent deal.

The 29-year-old initially joined them on a six-month loan before coming back for the full duration of this season.
However, the ex-Chelsea ace only managed three goals and seven assists in 41 games, with his last game for Spurs coming off the bench in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City before being frozen out by manager Ange Postecoglou.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will also be saying goodbye to Spurs officially as his loan to Marseille which started last summer becomes a permanent transfer.
In addition to the senior team departures, six players in the development squad - Will Andiyapan, Archie Baptiste, Jahziah Linton, Maxwell McKnight, Max Robson and Jaden Williams - will be leaving at the end of their contracts while Elliot Krasniqi leaves after the end of his three-year scholarship.
Timileyin Adekunle, Dante Orr and Charlie Warren from the Under-18 squad are also leaving.
However, there is one arrival of note to speak of in loanee Kevin Danso, whose move from RC Lens has now been made permanent in a £21million deal.

Dr Martens sees profits slide but on track for return to growth
Dr Martens has revealed annual profits slumped as sales came under pressure and it cautioned over ongoing falling revenues in the UK. The footwear group reported pre-tax profits of £8.8 million for the year to March 30, down from £93 million the previous year, after seeing sales fall 10%. On an underlying basis, pre-tax profits slumped to £34.1 million from £97.2 million. The group said sales to consumers in the US returned to growth in the second half of the year and have continued to increase, but revealed UK revenues have remained lower since the year-end 'due to a challenging market'. It added that unfavourable foreign exchange rates would see it take a hit to group sales and profits of around £18 million and £3 million respectively in 2025-26. Despite this, Dr Martens said it expects underlying profits to rise 'significantly' over the financial year ahead, with analysts expecting a jump to between £54 million and £74 million. It flagged uncertainty over the impact of higher tariffs, but said it was holding off from price hikes for the the remainder of 2025. Its stock is already in the US market for the spring/summer season and either there or on its way for the autumn/winter. 'We do however recognise that there is continued macroeconomic uncertainty and the full outcome of tariffs is still unknown, and we will monitor this closely through the year and take action as appropriate,' the group said. The Northamptonshire-based company outlined new plans for growth alongside its results, with aims to attract new shoppers and hold off from discounts in EMEA and the Americas. Annual figures showed sales sales dropped 11.4% over the year, although retail lifted 1% in the final six months. In the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, sales fell 11%, with direct-to-consumer difficulty amid a highly promotional market – particularly in the UK. The company, whose yellow-stitched boots have been a retro mainstay for decades, has been in the doldrums in recent years, with declining revenues exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. It listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2021, and has since issued a slew of profit warnings and replaced its chief executive. Many of Dr Martens' recent problems have come from steep declines in sales in the US, but new chief executive Ije Nwokorie said the group had stabilised in the past year. He said: 'Our single focus in 2024-25 was to bring stability back to Dr Martens. 'We have achieved this by returning our direct-to-consumer channel in the Americas back to growth, resetting our marketing approach to focus relentlessly on our products, delivering cost savings and significantly strengthening our balance sheet.' Mr Nwokorie, previously the firm's head of marketing before taking on the top job from Kenny Wilson on January 6, said: 'I am laser-focused on day-to-day execution, managing costs and maintaining our operational discipline while we navigate the current macroeconomic uncertainties.'

Rangers appoint new boss Russell Martin on three-year contract
Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Russell Martin as the club's new head coach. The 39-year-old former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton boss has signed a three-year contract. He will be joined at Ibrox by assistant head coach Matt Gill and performance coach Rhys Owen. Martin guided Southampton to promotion to the Premier League last year but was sacked in December following one win from their first 16 games. Rangers finished last season under the caretaker management of former captain Barry Ferguson, having dismissed Philippe Clement in February. Ex-Scotland defender Martin, who had a short loan spell as a player at Rangers in 2018, is tasked with wrestling power back from the other side of Glasgow after Celtic's stranglehold on Scottish football continued with a 13th William Hill Premiership title in 14 seasons. 'From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history,' he told the club's website. 'Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. 'There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of.' Martin's arrival is the latest in a series of major changes at the club. An American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises secured a majority shareholding on Friday, while new sporting director Kevin Thelwell officially began work on Monday. Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart, who led the recruitment process alongside Thelwell, said: 'Our criteria for our next coach were clear: we wanted a coach who will excel in terms of how we want to play, improve our culture, develop our squad, and ultimately win matches. Russell was the standout candidate.'
