Spurs are currently in Hong Kong as they prepare for a specially arranged friendly against Kitchee SC, and with a number of youngsters included in the travelling party, manager Mauricio Pochettino looks set to give some a run-out with his first-team stars tired after another very promising season.

Tottenham may have fallen short in the Premier League title race, while they will be frustrated not to be contesting this weekend’s FA Cup final, yet there are plenty of reasons to be positive and, with the right additions this summer, they could kick on and win some silverware in 2018.

Pochettino is likely to give his familiar faces some game time on Friday afternoon, so as not to disappoint the huge crowd expected to attend.

However, such is the timing of the match that the likes of Filip Lesniak, Georges-Kevin N’koudou and Pau Lopez will be hopeful of starting while teenage striker Kazaiah Sterling may get an opportunity from the bench.
