Tottenham face Reading in their first pre-season fixture on Saturday. Thomas Frank's side head to the Leasing.com Stadium to take on the League One outfit, as preparations continue for the 2025/26 campaign.
It'll be Spurs' first fixture since the 4-1 defeat against Brighton on the final day of last season and supporters will be hoping for a vast improvement from their side this term, despite winning the Europa League.
There is going to be several personnel changes in the Tottenham squad compared to the one that was named against the Seagulls. Indeed, £55million signing Mohammed Kudus is expected to be included.
Kudus arrived from West Ham last week and he is set to make his Spurs debut, while 18-year-old Luka Vuskovic could feature for the first time, two years on since agreeing a £12m move to north London.
Elsewhere, James Maddison might be back in contention after missing the final weeks of last season with a knee problem. The former Leicester City midfielder has been working hard to return to full fitness.
Cristian Romero and Lucas Bergvall were among the other first-team players not to feature against Brighton, and both could be involved against Reading after being spotted back on the grass.
Apart from those at Tottenham right now, who would help complete a 'dream' squad to tackle the Royals in their opening pre-season game? Well, there are two players that would fit that bill, that's for sure.
The first one is Morgan Gibbs-White. Spurs attempted to sign the 25-year-old last week and made an approach which triggered the £60million release clause in the midfielder's contract at Nottingham Forest.
However, Forest claimed that an illegal approach was made and believe the confidential nature of that clause was breached. Reports have since emerged that Spurs lodged a bid worth the exact amount needed to trigger it.
It has caused a legal matter to emerge between Tottenham and Forest, though there is some confidence that a deal for Gibbs-White is going to get done. Whether it's sealed for Saturday's trip to Reading is unclear.
Second of all, Adam Wharton would be part of Tottenham's 'dream' squad for Reading. The 21-year-old has been earmarked as a potential summer addition after impressing at Crystal Palace over the last 18 months.
Tottenham are not expected to be put off signing Wharton for £100m and that is a deal that could happen, despite Palace's high asking price. He would be a sensational coup for Frank and Spurs, should it go through.
If Gibbs-White and Wharton were to arrive, Tottenham would need sell players. Son Heung-min is one that has been linked with a move but he should be kept for some much-needed experience in the dressing room.
Therefore Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil should be the two wide players that move on. Solomon spent last season loan at Leeds United and the Whites want to sign him on a permanent deal, with a £12m fee touted.
As for Gil, it has not worked out for the Spaniard during his time in north London and Spurs should cash in, with Celta Vigo interested in the 24-year-old, who spent last season on loan at La Liga side Girona.
Another player to leave - and this is a controversial one - is Yves Bissouma. The Mali international was an integral part of Ange Postecoglou's side at Tottenham but he attracted interest from elsewhere this summer.
Fenerbahce and Juventus are among those keen on signing Bissouma and it could be the right time for Spurs to cash in and get some money back for the ex-Brighton man, especially as two midfielders are being signed.
