Career stats: Darren Anderton Career stats: Christian Ziege Career stats: Gus Poyet

Anderton, 32, joined Spurs from hometown club Portsmouth in 1992 for �1.7m and made 358 appearances despite a series of injuries.

Ziege, 32, moved from Liverpool in 2001 while Poyet, 36, joined from London rivals Chelsea for �1.5m also in 2001.

But club captain Jamie Redknapp has signed a new one-year deal.

Redknapp, who has also struggled with injuries, was awarded the new contract after agreeing a contractual issue which entitled him to an extension provided he played a certain number of matches.

In addition, second-choice goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld and promising young keeper Shwan Jalal have also left the club along with defender Danny Foster.

Spurs confident of Robinson deal

The departure of Hirschfeld and Jalal leaves Spurs with only one senior goalkeeper on their books in Kasey Keller, raising the prospects of a renewed bid for Leeds' Paul Robinson.

On the Redknapp deal, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "I'm pleased to announce that Jamie will be staying with us for next season.

"In respect of those leaving us, I should like to thank the players and wish them well in the future.

"In particular we wish Darren well after no less than 12 years at the club. Gus and Christian have given the supporters much to cheer about during their stay, too.

"We wish them luck for the future."

Anderton, signed by Terry Venables, won 30 caps for England in a stop-start international career but played a major role in Euro 96 and also featured in the 1998 World Cup.

Ziege has 71 Germany caps, playing in the side that triumphed at Euro 96 as well as the team that unexpectedly made its way to the 2002 World Cup final.

Poyet, who has 26 Uruguay caps, played for River Plate and Real Zaragoza before joining Chelsea in 1997.

Spurs, who have had director of football David Pleat at the helm since sacking Glenn Hoddle earlier in the season, are 15th in the Premiership with one game to play.
