Tottenham Hotspur

The Club has been supporting its local hospital - North Middlesex University Hospital - during National Blood Week to raise awareness of the urgent need for blood donors this summer.

Club ambassador Ledley King undertook a tour of North Mid alongside representatives from the hospital, including members of our NHS Spurs Official Supporters’ Club, to draw focus to crucial blood donation initiatives.

Ledley visited laboratories, the phlebotomy department, and the haematology day unit as part of the hospital’s “journey of blood” experience. Our former captain discussed with NHS staff the need to raise awareness of the issue of the life-saving impact of blood donation and the critical need for more donors, especially from Black, Asian, and mixed heritage communities.

There is currently an urgent need for more O negative donors, which are vital in emergencies, and for Black donors, who are far more likely to have the Ro blood type needed to treat sickle cell disease.

Today, fellow Ambassador Ossie Ardiles undertook the ‘What’s your blood type’ test during his visit to the hospital, which involves a finger prick that collects a small sample of blood and provides an instant result of the individual’s blood type. Only four drops of blood are required to provide the information, which can then be used to inform who could use that blood type in potential donations. Ergin Erbil, leader of Enfield Council, was also present during Ossie's visit and discussed the importance of the initiative for our local community with our former midfielder.

The Club is a long-standing supporter of North Mid, which is part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, and is donating 4,000 Spurs baby comforters to the hospital for newborns this summer – the first delivery of which were made by Ledley to the maternity unit this week.

To donate blood register now and book an appointment online at blood.co.uk, on the GiveBloodNHS app or by calling 0300 123 23 23.

Our Men’s First Team will face Luton Town in a pre-season match at Kenilworth Road on Saturday 26 July, kick-off 3pm.

We were last at Kenilworth Road in October, 2023 - our first visit in 31 years following Luton’s promotion to the Premier League. In our most recent meeting with the Hatters, Heung-Min Son’s late goal saw us claim a 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in March, 2024.

Mikey Moore and Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny are part of the England squad all set to kick-off their UEFA Under-19 Championship campaign in Romania on Saturday.

Forward Mikey, who made 18 appearances in his breakthrough season last term - including a place on the bench for our UEL Final victory against United in Bilbao last month - and midfielder Reiss, who impressed for our Under-21s, are with Will Antwi's squad preparing for England's opening game against Norway at the Ilie Oana Stadium in Ploiesti (3pm UK).

The Young Lions then face Germany on Tuesday (6pm UK) and finally the Netherlands at the Giulesti Stadium on Friday week (20 June, 6pm UK).

There are eight teams in the final tournament and the top two from two groups of four progress to the semi-finals.

Archie Gray started as England kicked-off the defence of their UEFA Under-21s Championship title with a 3-1 win against Czechia in Slovakia on Thursday evening.

The versatile defender/midfielder lined-up at right-back in Lee Carsley's 4-3-3 system and completed a full shift at the DAC Arena in Dunajska Streda.

Goals from Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, Marseille's Jonathan Rowe and Charlie Cresswell of Toulouse - Archie is pictured celebrating with Cresswell, above - saw the Young Lions home. Germany toppled Slovenia 3-0 in the other match in Group B. England take on Slovenia on Sunday (5pm UK).

Next up for our players in the tournament, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel's France to take on Georgia in Group C on Saturday (8pm UK). They drew their opener with Portugal.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Frank as our new Head Coach on a contract that runs until 2028.

Thomas has extensive experience in English football having joined Brentford in 2016 - since becoming one of the longest-serving current managers in the Premier League. During his time at Brentford he transformed the Club, moving them up from the Championship to an established Premier League side, consistently and significantly outperforming expectations for an extended period of time.

In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game. He has a proven track record in player and squad development and we look forward to him leading the team as we prepare for the season ahead.

Thomas will be joined from Brentford by Justin Cochrane (First Team Assistant Coach), Chris Haslam (Head of Performance & First Team Assistant Coach) and Joe Newton (First Team Coach Analyst), with Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach) arriving from Manchester United.

We can announce the departures of Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo from their roles as Assistant Coaches.

We should like to thank them for their contribution to the Club and wish them every success for the future.

Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel both started as France opened their UEFA Under-21 Championship with a 0-0 draw against Portugal in Slovakia on Wednesday evening.

Lining up as the wide attackers either side of Rennes' Matthis Abline in a 4-3-3, both players had efforts on goal in the Group C encounter, with Mathys forcing a save from Samuel Soares in the second half. Mathys was substituted on 77 minutes, Wilson completed the full match. The pair now prepare to face Georgia on Saturday - Georgia beat Poland 2-1 in Group C's other match this evening.

Archie Gray is in the England squad that kick-off their tournament against Czechia in Group B on Thursday (8pm UK).

The top two teams from four groups of four qualify for the quarter-finals.

Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert kick-off their UEFA Under-21 Championship campaign in Slovakia on Wednesday - with Archie Gray and England following suit on Thursday.

Mathys and Wilson are in the France squad to take on Portugal in their opener in Group C in Trencin, kicking-off at 8pm UK. Poland and Georgia are also in Group C as the top two teams from the four groups progress to the quarter-finals.

Mathys featured 20 times for us in all competitions last season, scoring three goals, after joining on loan from Bayern Munich in January. Wilson's campaign was hit by a serious hamstring injury that restricted him to one appearance between September and February. He eventually made 21 appearances, also scoring three goals.

The two speedsters are joined in the attacking ranks by Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, the Eintracht Frankfurt forward we faced in the UEL quarter-finals in April.

Meanwhile, Archie is part of the Young Lions squad defending their title and opening their tournament against Czechia in Dunajská Streda on Thursday, also at 8pm UK. England also face Germany and Slovenia in Group B.

Archie enjoyed a memorable first campaign at Spurs, racking up 46 appearances in all competitions, culminating in coming off the bench to help see us home against Manchester United in the UELeague Final - all at the age of 19.
