The Tottenham Hotspur pre-season is now well and truly underway after a whole swathe of the squad returned to the training ground to begin their preparations for the coming campaign.
Hotspur Way was a buzz of activity on Monday as a large group of first-team players returned to begin their work under Antonio Conte and his fitness coaches, including the experienced former Juventus coach Gian Piero Ventrone. These players only get a week at the Enfield-based training complex before the team flies out on Saturday to Korea for their first summer friendlies.
Spurs will take on Team K League - a selection of the best players from Korea's professional league - in Seoul on July 13 before facing Sevilla at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on July 16. They then travel to play Rangers in Glasgow on July 23 and another trip abroad arrives with the match against Jose Mourinho's Roma in Israel on July 30 before the Premier League season begins on August 6 with the visit of Southampton.
