Season Preview

London - End of the summer is approaching and the "silly season" transfer window is coming to a close which means the season’s first matches are only a few weeks away. Tottenham will be opening the season on the road at Everton, a strong side that finished 7th last season. This Tottenham squad look a lot like the 2016-2017 2nd place squad with no starters leaving the club.

Hugo Lloris will be maintaining the position of club captain with Harry Kane as the vice-captain. Eric Dier, Toby Alderwerield and Jan Vertoghen all kept their starting spots in the back three for Tottenham. With Danny Rose and Kyle Walker returning as the fullbacks pair. Though rumors are still swirling about Kyle Walker leaving the club this window and the club has yet to put those rumors to rest.

Moussa Dembele and Victor Wanyama come back as the bruising midfield combo for Pochettino with Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and the 2 time Golden Boot winner Harry Kane leading the attack. Hueng-Min Son and Vincent Janssen are the top two scorers on the bench with youngsters Harry Winks and Josh Onomah looking to earn playing time this season.

Eric Lamela, who missed almost all of last season with a hip injury, is back and healthy. But like Walker, rumors of Lamela being sold have been going around all summer and Tottenham have been entertaining a few offers.

Michele Vorm and Moussa Sissoko were sold by Spurs already this window and 16 year old fullback Sessegnon from Fulham was brought in. Spurs are still looking to add another winger to the squad but Stlducks has been adamant that his youth players could get the job done if needed.
