With plenty of eyes set to be on England's game against Iran, there are plenty of players of interest to Spurs supporters in action today. football.london brings you the members of the Spurs squad who are in action today and the players that have been linked with a move to north London.
Harry Kane and Eric Dier
The Three Lions kick off their anticipated World Cup campaign against Iran later this afternoon. Talk of how far Gareth Southgate's men will go in the Middle east will come to an end and the football will do the talking.
Spurs striker Harry Kane is almost guaranteed to lead England out against Carlos Queiroz's side tonight, but whether Eric Dier takes up a spot in the defence remains unclear. The pair will be hoping to lead the country to their first major tournament win since 1966.
Ben Davies and Joe Rodon
Alongside England in Group B, Spurs defensive duo Ben Davies and Joe Rodon take on USA in their first World Cup game since 1958. Rob Page's men come into the tournament with nothing to lose but have plenty of quality to cause an upset.
Both Davies and Rodon, who is on loan to Rennes, will be hoping to make their World Cup debut at the Al Rayyan Stadium. They face USA who are looking to make it three consecutive tournaments of reaching the last-16.
Pape Matar Sarr
One Spurs player who supporters will be excited to see in action is young Pape Matar Sarr. The 20-year-old is still yet to make his debut for Antonio Conte's side but is likely to feature for Senegal throughout their World Cup campaign.
The midfielder has started three of his nation's four previous games. He does face competition from fellow Premier League stars Idrissa Guete, Nampalys Mendy and Cheikhou Kouyate. It'll be the first chance fans will get to see him in action.
Memphis Depay
Recent reports have said that Spurs will pay close attention to Memphis Depay's performances in Qatar. The Netherlands striker has hardly played for Barcelona this season due to injury and Robert Lewandowski's arrival, with 90min claiming he could be signed on a free transfer.
Depay himself has a point to prove in England after an unsuccessful spell with Manchester United seven years ago. Today is the first opportunity for Fabio Paratici and Spurs to watch the striker in action as his side face Senegal.
Weston McKennie
A year ago, it was believed that American midfielder McKennie was above Rodrigo Bentancur on Spurs' target list for new recruits. Now, with his future at Juventus remaining in doubt, the situation could be revisited.
McKennie is a key part of Gregg Berhalter's side for the upcoming tournament. First up is Wales and the US will be hoping to start with a victory ahead of Friday's highly-anticipated clash with England.
