Antonio Conte has confirmed his Tottenham squad for the pre-season tour of South Korea, with the team departing for the Far East this evening (Saturday). New signings Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison are part of the Spurs party but there is no place for Clement Lenglet as his recent arrival means he is without the necessary documentation to travel to Korea.
Lenglet isn't the only player to miss out as another five of the first-team squad are also not making the trip. Joe Rodon misses out through illness, with Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks continuing their pre-season preparations at Hotspur Way.
Conte's decision to leave behind the aforementioned quartet does appear to send out a big message that they aren't part of his plans going into the new campaign. Dane Scarlett and Alfie Devine also remain behind but they have further time off due to their recent exploits in the Euro U19 Championship.

Tottenham have been known to hand out a number of opportunities to youngsters on their previous pre-season tours, with Josh Keeley, Charlie Sayers and Malachi Fagan-Walcott all named as part of the travelling squad this time. Bryan Gil and Pape Matar Sarr will also have the perfect opportunity to impress Conte and his coaching staff following their respective loan deals at Valencia and Metz.
Tottenham's first game comes against Team K League on Wednesday evening, before they finish their tour with a showdown against Spanish side Sevilla three days later. Further matches against Rangers and Roma are then on the agenda once they return from South Korea.
The squad is as follows:
Hugo Lloris. Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin, Josh Keeley; Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga, Malachi Fagan-Walcott, Ben Davies, Charlie Sayers, Matt Doherty, Emerson Royal; Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oliver Skipp. Harvey White, Ryan Sessegnon, Ivan Perisic; Bryan Gil, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Harry Kane, Troy Parrott, Lucas Moura, Heung-Min Son
