Here is your football.london Tottenham digest on Saturday, September 3.
Spurs set for Premier League title challenge
Speaking to BonusCodeBets, Liverpool legend John Barnes believes Spurs will finish behind the Reds and Manchester City.
Barnes said: "Man City and Liverpool are going to be the top two again then after them will be Tottenham. Then Arsenal and Chelsea; Arsenal are doing really well at this moment in time but of course, they've still got a young side and if they go through a bit of a sticky patch, the young players probably need a bit more experience.
"While they're doing well now, it will be between them and Chelsea for the fourth spot but I think the top three will be Man City and Liverpool or Liverpool and Man City then Tottenham."

Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur injury update
Antonio Conte has confirmed that both Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur will be in the squad to face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Tottenham face the Whites in a 3pm kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and they have been buoyed by Conte's latest injury update.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Conte said: "Cuti Romero is in the squad, he had a training session with us after game against West Ham. Bentancur is ok, he has recovered 100%."
Bryan Gil breaks silence on failed transfer
Speaking last weekend, Valencia boss Gennaro Gattuso admitted that the deal was practically there and it would go through once Tottenham had brought in a replacement for the Bryan Gil.
However, that has not happened and it means Gil will be part of Antonio Conte's squad and provide cover for the likes of Son Heung-min and Co in attack.
Following reports of the player's loan deal to Valencia collapsing, the ex-Sevilla man took to social media and posted a cryptic message in Spanish on his Instagram Stories. It read: "Sometimes an old photo makes us value moments where we were happier and didn’t realise."
