Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Korea is brought to you in association with Nord VPN, sponsors of football.london's coverage.
Antonio Conte has had an extremely productive preseason at Tottenham already. The Italian has completed five key first team signings as he seeks to close the gap with Liverpool and Manchester City, perhaps even making a title charge of his own.
The former Inter boss was able to transform Chelsea into Premier League winners after his first preseason at Stamford Bridge, and things are shaping up well for Spurs, who look streamlined as a club going into the new season.
With Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Clement Lenglet, Richarlison and Yves Bissouma all added to the squad that finished fourth last campaign, Spurs have travelled to South Korea to prepare tactically.
Here, football.london takes a closer look at everything you need to know ahead of their first match, against a League XI, on Wednesday, July 13.
Where is it being played?
Spurs, who are training at the Goyang Stadium, a multipurpose arena, formerly the home of K League outfit Goyang Zaicro FC, will play their first preseason match down the road, at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The ground, which can hold 66,704 fans, is the second biggest stadium in South Korea and was purpose built for the 2002 World Cup. It hosted the semi-final of that competition, and is now the go-to home stadium of the national football team.
Conte's side will face a selection of the best players from Korea’s professional league and is the first of two matches being played in the Coupang Play Series.
Where can the match be watched?
The game will not be aired on TV in United Kingdom and will be the first match to be broadcast on Spurs' own new site for video content, SPURSPLAY. Fans are able to register their interest in subscribing ahead of all the action getting underway.
The game will kick off at 8pm KST (Korea) and 12pm BST (UK).
Spurs team news?
All of Spurs' new summer signings, barring Lenglet, have travelled with the squad to Korea, including Perisic, who is undergoing recovery from a calf injury. Also included is Papar Matar Sarr, who got his first taste of Spurs life after spending the season on loan at Ligue 1 side Metz.
19-year-old goalkeeper Josh Keeley, who arrived from St Patrick's Athletic, also took part in the first session. The opening days of the tour have come too soon for Lenglet though, he will remain at the training centre this week. Elsewhere, Joe Rodon stayed home due to illness, while Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, Sergio Reguilon and Harry Winks all remained in London, all being expected to move on this summer.
Youngsters Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett were given further time off following their recent triumph at the UEFA European U19 Championships.
