Tottenham

After two months with no football, Tottenham Hotspur are back in action today at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in South Korea. Okay, so it's only a friendly match ...

If you’re in the United States and have cable you can watch it (somehow) on CBS Sports Network. Everywhere else, it’s streamed on SpursPLAY, Tottenham’s new premium streaming service.

Antonio Conte's Tottenham get their pre-season schedule underway with a fixture against Team K League as part of their South Korean tour, where some fresh ...

Amazon's 20 live Premier League games will return in the 2022/23 season. BT Sport hold the rights to 52 live Premier League games. They also own rights to the Carabao Cup and several international matches. The quartet of Sergio Reguilon, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso have been left at home, while Steven Bergwijn has been sold to Ajax. Sky Sports retain the rights to the bulk of those fixtures with 128 live matches. And the majority of those will be hoping to get a run-out against Team K League, which is a side made up of two players from each of the 12 clubs in South Korea’s top division of football.

Tottenham could - and probably should - have had a hatful of goals in the first-half before they were caught with a late sucker punch. Gil impressed on the right-hand side of a front three for Spurs and was full of creativity and guile during an encouraging 45 minute cameo. It's been a tough 12 months for Gil, who has failed to make any sort of impression since he arrived in north London in a player-plus-cash deal from Sevilla last summer. Sessegnon enjoyed a strong finish to last season and is set to battle with Ivan Perisic for the left-wing back slot this season. He was a constant outlet down the left-hand side in Seoul, but the former Fulham man's end product was lacking. Away from goal, the new man impressed with some slick link-up play with Bryan Gil and Lucas Moura in the early stages of the match, which included a couple of neat flicks.

Tottenham Hotspur are putting in the hard yards quite literally as their pre-season training continues ahead of the start of the 2022-23 campaign.

They were hobbling around in the team hotel on Monday night. When in charge of Italy (August 2014-July 2016) he was obsessed by the values of goji berries. He duly rewarded him by plundering in the goals with 34 in 51 matches. Conte's tough sessions took their toll in 2017-18 as the Blues juggled European football commitments. In his first pre-season at Chelsea in Los Angeles, he emphasised this drill to his whole squad - irrespective of whether they were a first-team starter or squad member. The end result? Son, the darling of South Korea, drew gasps from the crowd when he collapsed. He would then repeat this for the other flags too. He's also urged his stars to eat more fruit. Sportsmail takes a look at his punishing methods as he looks to turn his side into trophy contenders. In contrast, his predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo had just one. Depending on when they reported back for training, it was either 42 or 30 lengths.

Tottenham win first pre-season game with a thrilling 6-3 victory over Team K League in South Korea; second-half substitutes Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son ...

"We had a problem with Covid, with Bissouma and Fraser because the test was positive. For Richy he is working and we are working on the tactical aspects with him because he has to go into our idea. For this reason they weren't here with us. It was the same for Kulusevski. But for sure he is a player that gives me important positions up front. He can play in all three positions.

Spurs are currently on tour in South Korea, where they will face a K-League XI in their opening pre-season friendly on Wednesday. It is the first time Tottenham ...

Video analysis sessions are daily and extremely detailed, with Conte obsessing of the position of players down to a single yard. After beating Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa League last season, the analysis session that followed was said to have lasted 75 minutes instead of the initial 20 as planned. Conte is also known for paying close attention to nutrition, with his dietary rules perhaps his most strict. Ventrone, who also goes by the nickname 'Professor Marine', is said to be at the heart of Conte's punishing drills. Conte placed a huge emphasis on fitness when he arrived at Tottenham in November, with the club languishing in eight place.

Steve Nicol has slammed Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte on his brutal pre-season training methods.

Harry Kane and Heung-min Son both scored twice as Tottenham began pre-season with a 6-3 win against a K-League XI in Seoul.

Conte is thought to be undecided on whether the youngsters will be part of the first-team squad this season and both could be sent on loan if they are not deemed ready over the next few weeks. So it was encouraging to see the young midfielder looking sharp and showing no ill effects on a 45-minute run-out in Seoul, where he played alongside Rodrigo Bentancur for the first time. Half-time sub Kane forced an own goal within seconds of the restart and scored himself with a low strike and a free kick. Son sent a crowd of over 61,000 wild with a goal from the penalty spot before rolling his second into an empty net. Really, it may have been more helpful for Spurs if he had allowed Son to take, just as he did the penalty. Oliver Skipp made his first appearance for Spurs since January after recovering from pelvic surgery.

- Not sure what happened on K-League’s free kick goal, but the two man wall of Son and Sarr completely crapped the bed. Also notable that Harry Kane didn’t demand to take that PK; that was always going to Son in front of his home fans. Harvey White also had an excellent ball into the box late in the game. - Kane and Son were once again very much in sync on the counters, but interestingly Sonny also had a good connection with Troy Parrott when he came on. There were 60k fans in that stadium, and they cheered every time the stadium screens showed a close-up of Antonio Conte. They roared when Kane and Son started warming up. Great movement, energetic in the press, carried the ball forward a few times. - Ryan Sessegnon looks like he’s bulked up a bunch since last season, but he had kind of a rough half. A couple of poor passes and got beat one on one a few times. I don’t know if he’s going to do that against better opposition — maybe we’ll know more after the Sevilla friendly. That’s not what happened at the Seoul Olympic Stadium on Wednesday. Tottenham Hotspur played a team of K-League all-stars in South Korea in the first match of their preseason tour, and there were TONS of goals. There’s a LOT to unpack here, way more than I can put in a single article. There are some skillful K-League players on that team, and the crowd was absolutely delightful.

MATT BARLOW IN SEOUL: Tottenham opened their pre-season campaign with a 6-3 win against Team K League to leave Antonio Conte satisfied with an energetic ...

The first was a penalty, awarded for handball, and clipped into the net with what appeared to be a scuffed panenka by the Spurs striker. His second was Tottenham's sixth, a complete gift presented to him by a stray pass out of defence, which he gratefully seized upon and turned into the open goal. There were no surprises when it came to the shape of the team. Richarlison was recruited for his ability to play in different roles, and deputise through the centre Harry Kane when necessary. Absences included Ivan Perisic, who is still not fit to start full training after an injury at the end of last season. In the second half when they were paired on the right, with Moura at wing-back.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has hinted that his team's business is not done yet.

We are always looking to strengthen the squad if there is the opportunity. We want to improve numerically the squad. Greg Lea is a freelance football journalist who's filled in wherever FourFourTwo needs him since 2014. "Then we’ll see what happens. In the past....

Kane was among six players to come on at half-time and replaced Bryan Gil, while Son’s introduction in place of Emerson Royal came a couple of minutes later. Fellow new signing and free transfer Ivan Perisic is with the squad in South Korea but was not involved in the squad as he continues to work on his fitness ahead of the new campaign. Here are five key moments from Spurs’ nine-goal thriller in South Korea.

Summer signings Yves Bissouma and Fraser Forster were forced to miss the first of Tottenham's games in the Coupang Play Series as a result of Covid-19. Both ...

“Now I can be inside the stadium listening to that music. “It’s a dream isn’t it?” Richarlison told the club’s website of Champions League football. Bissouma and Fraser.”

Antonio Conte stated at a press conference that Tottenham Hotspur are still looking to add some reinforcements to the team.

It would be wise for the board to shift their focus to other targets. We are always looking to strengthen the squad if there is the opportunity. For every coach to have players quickly is very important because you can work with them and put them into the idea of (our) football.”

Tottenham won the first match of their pre-season tour of Korea, with Kane and Son both scoring - but not everyone had an enjoyable evening.

And if pre-season friendlies are football’s equivalent of the former, then Davinson Sanchez is in for a storming start to the season. He scored his second of the night with a 75th-minute free kick to make it 5-3. Gil too put in a good shift before being replaced with Kane at half-time. Also, he made a good assist (sending Son through for a chance that led to a red card and Kane scoring from the resulting free kick), I’m very happy that we signed him.” Kane also gave local hero Son a goal by allowing him to take a penalty with the score at 3-2. Because in Wednesday’s game, this was very much a case of Bad Sanchez. Very, very bad. He and Bentancur are an intriguing duo as they are pretty similar players. Once Richarlison moved over to the right for the second half, he spent most of his time beating players but then going down and not winning free kicks. And once those rough edges are smoothed out a touch, Tottenham will have brought in a very useful forward. “I think he is strong physically and a good personality — good character, good quality. The chances started to come, and after Dave Bulthuis just nipped in to clear Sessegnon’s cross, Royal’s delivery picked Richarlison out but his header was tame. “Today, I’ve seen a lot of positive things about Richy,” Conte said.

Antonio Conte has some selection decisions to make in midfield, after the pairings performance during Tottenham's victory against Team K League.

It wasn't a bad debut from the youngster, and Hojbjerg continued to be a leadership figure in the middle. Bentancur made a couple of crunching tackles and tried to help get the ball forward. This meant Conte had a quartet to choose from and opted for Skipp and Bentancur for the first 45 minutes. The first few seconds of the game showed a shaky start for the pair, with a pass between them leading to loss of possession. This left Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and January arrival Rodrigo Bentancur as the most-used midfield pairing in the second half of last season. Last season, Oliver Skipp's injury in January kept him out for the rest of the campaign.

This followed on from his spell at Watford, where he was also utilised in both forward positions, and this is set to give him, and Conte, an extra dynamic as they head into the new season. “But for sure he is a player that gives me important positions up front.

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings from the first half of their friendly against Team K-League in South Korea on Wednesday.

He did provide a nice cross for Richarlison late in the half but he lose a point purely for that huge miss. Saw more action on the left of the back three but it was at the other end where he had a good chance in space but saw his effort saved. Captain for the half and he scored a rocket of a goal on the half hour mark, playing a one-two with Gil and burying a left-footed shot into the top right corner.

After Wednesday's game, Conte confirmed he plans to utilise Richarlison in all three positions at Tottenham. He told reporters: "Today, I have seen a lot of ...

And they are also expected to complete the signing of Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence, who shone on loan at Nottingham Forest last season. Conte's side start their 22/23 Premier League campaign at home to Southampton on August 6. Spurs started Conte's first summer transfer window early, recruiting Fraser Forster and Perisic on free transfers. Conte has exciting attacking options amid a hectic summer for Spurs, signing five players so far with more expected to follow. He can play in all three positions. He is a player who gives me important options.

Bryan Gil has had a rollercoaster start to his career, but he did well to impress Antonio Conte in his first appearance for Tottenham, after his loan.

However, at his age and with the development he still needs, a loan move for another season could be what is best for all parties. Another success of his short game time was that he didn't appear to get shoved off the ball, managing to get round opposition players. It was strange to send on loan, and sell one player, in the January transfer window. Gil played the first 45 minutes and was arguably one of the stand-out players on the pitch. Playing on the right side of the attack, not only did the Spaniard bring energy, he also got into good positions and tried to make an impact at both ends of the field. "About the players that went on loan, they need to play more games," he admitted. The youngster impressed on his return to Spain, making 13 La Liga appearances and registering a single assist. "I wanted to get games and I thought I'd get the chance here. Gil made nine Premier League appearances before he made the move to Valencia in January for a loan spell until the end of the 2022/23 season. But I already knew some of the guys here, like Carlos and Jose Gaya, and I think it helped me to settle quickly," Gil added. There was hope that he could continue his development on his loan move, which did prove to be good for him. The winger came in under Nuno Espirito Santo and soon after his arrival, he admitted that there had been a request for him.

Tottenham are leading the race to land Sevilla defender Jules Kounde after Chelsea dropped their interest in a move for the Frenchman, according to reports.

Kounde, who is also said to be a target for Newcastle and Barcelona, registered a total of 44 appearances for Sevilla over the course of last season. The Italian coach is believed to be keen on signing at least one new centre-back in the near future and has reportedly identified Kounde as the man for the job. Chelsea were widely expected to try again for Kounde in advance of next season but have since agreed to sign Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, with the latter's arrival set to be confirmed over the coming days.

Although head coach Conte's summer trolley dash is well advanced, there is still room for at least one more defender - and French international Kounde looks ...

Here are our five talking points from Tottenham's 6-3 win against Team K-League in Seoul on Wednesday during their South Korea pre-season tour.

Honestly we are satisfied because his recovery is going very fast and we are happy about this and when we come back in London he will start to have some of the training session with us." Ben Davies also yesterday, for Ben it was the second training session and he needed to recover and run and do the same training as the players did in the last two days. "And yeah we had a problem with Covid, with Bissouma because the test was positive. Conte gave Son his own special moment, bringing him on a minute into the second half rather than with the other six half-time substitutes and the sound as he came on was exactly what you would have expected for one of Korea's icons and international captain. He sent the crowd wild with a trademark knee slide and that celebration. Ryan Sessegnon, 22, enjoyed a few good forays down the left-hand side in the opening 45 minutes and he will be looking to impress Conte as much as possible before Perisic is fit enough to take part. Bryan Gil had been sent packing back to Spain within six months of joining with the Italian's criticism of his signing no doubt ringing in his ears and he has looked eager to impress in pre-season. He was unaware on that occasion of what the fuss was about, but the second time it happened after looking around and noticing the screens, he waved, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Richarlison will fit in well at Tottenham with his hunger to impress and win as well as his personality. Now the most important thing to try to bring all the players to be fit for the first game, because in three weeks we have to start the Premier League and for now my first target is to bring all the players to be fit and to be ready to start the league but I repeat I'm satisfied with the game. The natural knock-on effect of having roars of appreciation around the ground for dribbles, tackles and good passing was that it did push the players on to increase their intensity. A hyped up Sanchez aside, it was a good workout for Antonio Conte's side and most of the senior stars got their 45 minutes and some more.

Tottenham have reportedly joined the race to sign Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde, as Antonio Conte looks to strengthen his back line even further for the ...

Finally, Harry Winks is set to finally leave Tottenham after spending his whole career at the club, and a change of scene could do him good. Conte's system is known for being tireless and intense, but the Frenchman has been known to not pull his weight at times. Kounde has seen a £76m price-tag slapped on him due to ongoing interest, but while Tottenham aren't as keen to throw money around like PSG, they could offer players in return.

Hello and welcome to football.london 's live Tottenham Hotspur blog on Wednesday! Antonio Conte is known for his desire to use the summer to his advantage ...

However, a new report from The Athletic has claimed that Southampton could decide to cash in on the Londoner, with Arsenal and United both keeping tabs on the right-back. football.london understands that Parrott's own plan is to spend another season out on loan before returning to really challenge for a place in the first-team squad at Spurs in the 2023/24 season. I’m just grateful to play as many games as possible and I’m just happy to play whenever the manager wants me to.” Ah, anyone hoping to catch a first glimpse of new signing Yves Bissouma is going to be mightily disappointed. He fits the bill as an attacking midfielder and as a 'luxury' player, so maybe we should watch this space. I'm not interested in the points we had last year, I'm only interested in what we can get this season, but I am positive, really optimistic, but I'm not sure, so we will have to fight and see what the outcome is. There was a period when Cristian Romero was injured and the manager called upon me to play in that position. His agents are talking to more clubs but with no advanced negotiations yet." As reported by Fabrizio Romano in Caught Offside, “For Ndombele there is still no imminent solution. Newcastle are also interested in the player. The Spurs manager has been pictured putting his players through their paces in their tour of South Korea, with squad members collapsing from exhaustion. The basis has to be right, and it is right for us and from there, we can go.

Tottenham will offer four men in a Jules Kounde swap, Leeds' top two targets are named, while more details have emerged on Lisandro Martinez's Man Utd move.

The 51-year-old was keen to ensure a breakthrough was made that suited all parties. Not wishing to make life hard for United, he was the one who settled on the compromise fee of £46m. However, Ndombele needs a move to get his career back on track, and the Express claims he could be their next Steven Nzonzi. His signing will come as a major relief to Erik ten Hag, who has seen his side ensure a frustrating summer so far. Winks, meanwhile, might just have the game to succeed in LaLiga thanks to his excellent passing range. As such, Jurgen Klopp has explained why he thinks Spurs will have a big say in the Premier League title race.

It's hot everywhere. The temperatures are up, humidity is X% and your hoddler-in-chief has got his ice machine working overtime right now. That's because its ...

I can’t say I’m a fan of the koi carp who scared it off, though. And it deserves to be happy. And hot out here?

Tottenham are targeting a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde with Chelsea focusing on securing transfers for Kalidou Koulibaly and Presnel Kimpembe.

football.london understands Spurs are still negotiating a deal for talented Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence, with a right wing-back still a priority on their list this summer. Defence has been a key area to strengthen for Conte this summer with the arrivals of Ivan Perisic and Lenglet at N17. Kounde has been on Chelsea's transfer radar for the past year, but interest has cooled lately with the Blues looking at other targets.

Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign 23-year-old defender Jules Kounde from Sevilla this summer, according to the Mirror.

And Kounde is an experienced option to go after- one who still has a lot of years ahead of him. The team is building a solid squad for next season. Antonio Conte missed out on Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan. So the Italian has decided to stay in the race for the Frenchman.

According to reports, Fenerbache defender Kim Min-jae is 'hoping' to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer amid interest from Everton and Napoli.

“But for sure he is a player that gives me important positions up front. At the same time, we have to work on the physical aspects for him to be fit. For sure also for Richy in this period, he is working and we are working on the tactical aspects with him because he has to go into our idea.

Tottenham have unveiled their new away kit for the 2022/23 season, just over a month after the reveal of the new home kit.

Spurs describe the away kit as "a deep lapis blue shade finished with black sleeves and flashes of volt on the neckline and cuffs, with the Club’s famous cockerel emblem front and centre." When the home kit was unveiled, it got a fairly positive reaction to the fans, but the same can't be said for this one. Tottenham have revealed their new Nike away kit for the 2022/23 season.
