The visitors are undergoing a successful ‘transition’ period at the moment in north London after new manager Ange Postecoglu arrived in the summer from Celtic.
Alongside the Australian’s arrival, it was a summer transfer window of ins and out for Spurs, with the most noticeable one of them all being Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich.
Tottenham bolstered their squad with the arrivals of James Maddison from Leicester City, Micky Van de Ven of Wolfsburg, Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk, Guglielmo Vicario arriving from Empoli and the duo of Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski making their respective loan deals permanent.
Departures were fairly minimal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with academy graduate Harry Winks leaving for Leicester City, Lucas Moura returning to Brazil and joining Sao Paulo and both Joe Rodon & Djed Spence signing on season-long loan deals for Leeds United.
