Tottenham take on Hoffenheim this afternoon in the first of two friendlies against the German side. Roberto De Zerbi’s men will face off with the Bundesliga outfit twice this weekend, with this first match televised and open to supporters, and the second taking place tomorrow, but behind closed doors.
It is a final chance for fans to get to see how De Zerbi has been preparing his side for the upcoming Premier League season, after the Italian guided them away from what would have been a stunning top-flight relegation to the Championship last term. Now, he has been bosltered by some heavy spending in the transfer market.
Spurs have added Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Sandro Tonali, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka and Mateus Fernandes to their first-team crop, but De Zerbi wants more before the transfer deadline passes, eying further additions in his frontline. Savinho and Cody Gakpo of Manchester City and Liverpool respectively have been linked. Keep up to date with all the latest from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with our live blog below.
