Tottenham Hotspur have officially confirmed that two players have been given special permission to miss the club’s pre-season tour in order to explore potential transfers away.
The Tottenham squad boarded a flight to Asia today ahead of their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, where they will play Vissel Kobe, K League All Stars, and Bayern Munich from Saturday onwards.
The club took to social media to announce their official squad for the trip today, but there were some notable absences from the flight.
A mixture of injuries, international duty, and potential transfers away means seven players miss out on the club’s pre-season tour.
Tottenham confirmed that both Sergio Reguilon and Bryan Gil would remain in Europe in order to explore potential transfers away from the club this summer.
Fraser Forster is seemingly the only player to miss out on the trip through injury, staying behind at Hotspur Way to undergo rehabilitation on his fractured foot.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have all been granted extended holiday periods after they competed in the Euros and Copa America this summer.
Spurs Web Opinion:
Tottenham are finally having a good old clear-out this summer, and it is much needed. (It also should have been done at least 12 months ago).
Hopefully, Gil and Reguilon can both secure good moves in the coming weeks. I would expect Spurs to try and get around £10m for both of them.
