Ange Postecoglou is holding a transfer deadline day press conference ahead of Tottenham's trip to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

It is a busy Friday for Spurs with the Europa League group stage draw coming after midday and then the head coach speaking to reporters ahead of the journey up to St James Park to play Eddie Howe's Newcastle side on Sunday. That is all happening amid the final hours of the summer transfer window, which closes at 11pm.

Tottenham have made a series of signings this summer in Dominic Solanke, Wilson Odobert, Archie Gray, the returning Timo Werner and a January arrival to come in 2025 in Yang Min-hyeok, while Lucas Bergvall joined up with his team-mates this summer following his February switch from Djurgarden.

The club have also moved on a huge number of players in an extensive overhaul of Postecoglou's squad with Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso likely to add to that group of departing stars before the window closes.

Postecoglou will talk about the prospect of any further late signings on deadline day at his press conference and the likelihood of more exits from the clubs before 11pm.

The Australian will also discuss the Europa League group stage draw, the trip to Newcastle after recent poor results there for the club as well as the latest injury news regarding Dominic Solanke, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur and anyone else carrying fresh knocks.
