"The fixture is the latest addition to our pre-season schedule which already includes matches against MK Dons, Auckland FC, Sydney FC, Chelsea and back-to-back games with TSG Hoffenheim.

The game against Getafe means Spurs have seven fixtures in the diary before the season begins competitively on August 22 with the trip to Brentford. Players not competing at the World Cup are set to return to the club's Enfield training complex in stages from Friday, July 10 for medical and physical testing and gym work. They will then move on to full work on the training pitches with the coaching staff from Monday, July 13.

The following day, Roberto De Zerbi's men will move over to Australia to start their preparations for a fixture against A-League side Sydney FC on Wednesday, July 29 at the Allianz Stadium.
