Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Korea is brought to you in association with Nord VPN, sponsors of football.london's coverage.
You had some free time the morning after the match, did you get to see Korea?
For sure we are enjoying a lot this week in Korea. Our first target is to have good training sessions and to improve, improve our physical condition and the tactical aspect. At the same time we are enjoying our time in Korea because this country is beautiful. It's amazing to see this nation of our fans. For this reason we have had a very good time out here.
Spurs are close to signing Djed Spence from Middlesbrough, can you say anything about that and if not can you say whether you feel you need another right wing-back?
Yeah, about Spence we don't want to comment about speculation because it is disrespectful for all the other players, for the club and the other team. Sure we are always looking to improve the squad if there is the possibility.

When you came to Korea, what kind of aspect did you want to improve for the team?
We are trying to improve many aspects of the team during the pre-season and then we have to strengthen the players and bring them to a good level in the tactical and physical aspect. We work to improve and we are doing this. Pre-season is very important because of this period. It's an opportunity to work much more than during the season and we are doing this and we are happy because we are working very well and we are very appreciative of the efforts of the players.
Can Kulusevski and Davies play the next game and are there any fresh injuries?
Deki Kulusevski and Ben Davies, they are available for tomorrow's game. [Ivan] Perisic started to work with us, but with Ivan we have to go step by step because the injury was a serious injury but it's good that he started to work with us. I think that when we get back to London with us he can be involved with us in regular training sessions.
About the team for the game against Sevilla, I think that I'm going to change something. The aim especially at the start of the season is to give many rotations and to give the possibility to all the players to play the game.
Son was put in the game in the second half in the last game, will he be in the starting line-up this time?
I explained in the press conference that our line-up was dictated by the training session because apart from our international players we started one week ago. Then with the international players they have just started this week to work with us. In the next game we have for sure to change. I want to change something. I repeat I want to make many rotations because in pre-season you have the possibility to try to give the opportunity to all the players to play the game and show that they deserve to play every game. Sonny, for tomorrow's game, is going to start.
What are your plans for Pape Matar Sarr this season?
About Sarr, he's a young player. A good prospect. He will be the future for Tottenham. Together, with Sarr we also have other young players and we will try with the club to take the best decision for them. It can be very important to take the best decision about whether to stay in the squad, to stay at Tottenham or go out on loan and play with regularity every game and continue to improve.
