Antonio Conte could hand five Tottenham players debuts in their pre-season friendly versus Europa League finalists Rangers.

Spurs have trained at Hotspur Way after the end of their pre-season tour in South Korea and will face the Scottish outfit tomorrow.

The Evening Standard report that five of Conte’s six summer signings could make their bow in the clash against the Gers.

Richarlison has already played on tour but Clement Lenglet, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic and Djed Spence could all make their first appearance in a Spurs shirt here.

Tottenham could hand out five debuts versus Rangers

New boys Forster and Bissouma were back in training earlier this week belatedly having been forced to complete a period of Covid isolation in South Korea.

Perisic has been battling with an injury since his arrival from Inter Milan and is not expected to be fit to enough to start the game.

He could well come off the bench after recovering from that calf problem which has held back his own pre-season thus far.

Spence has been training while his move to Spurs awaited completion but it was individually, and therefore it remains to be seen where his fitness is.

It will be good for Spurs fans to see their new arrivals after a summer of activity which has got supporters excited in north London.

Perhaps Conte would have liked to have got them into action sooner, but they are here a lot earlier than many of Tottenham’s other recent signings under Daniel Levy have been.

Conte will work them hard in terms of fitness and getting them used to his tactical demands in order to be ready for the serious stuff next month.
