Tottenham can be pleased with pre-season performances

Having won every game in pre-season this summer ahead of the final tie against Bayern Munich, Tottenham can be pleased with how they’ve done in their preparations for the Premier League campaign.

New signings such as Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray have looked the part despite their young age, and with a month of the window left to go, more additions could be made in the coming weeks.

Indeed, next season is lining up to be a big one for Tottenham, and the north London side need to use their pre-season form as motivation to start the new campaign with a bang against Leicester City.
