Tottenham confirm squad for pre-season tour as two players told to stay at home
Tottenham have confirmed their squad for their pre-season tour of Asia - and have told two players to stay at home to complete transfers.
Spurs first take on Vissel Kobe in Japan on July 27 as part of the tour, with that fixture being played to crown the winner of the J League World Challenge.
They then travel to South Korea to face a K-League XI, before a fixture against Bayern Munich.
Spurs then face Bayern again a week later at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a much-changed squad likely to be announced for that clash.

A number of players are absent for the Asia tour, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven all resting following their participation at Euro 2024 and the Copa America.
Radu Dragusin is available after returning from Romania duty at Euro 2024, but will only play in the Korea fixtures.
Fraser Forster, meanwhile, is an injury absentee, while Spurs have taken the unusual step of not picking two other players so they can finalise transfers elsewhere.
The two players in question are winger Bryan Gil and left-back Sergio Reguilon, who are both surplus to requirements under Ange Postecoglou.
Reguilon spent the first half of last season on loan at Manchester United, before joining Brentford for the second half of the campaign.
Gil, meanwhile, was a squad player under Postecoglou last season but never established himself as a first-choice member of the side.
Neither player has been the subject of concrete transfer links, however, meaning their short-term futures are uncertain.
Spurs, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season, kick off their 2024/25 campaign at newly-promoted Leicester on August 19.
