SINGAPORE – A Hurri-Kane is expected to travel to Singapore this summer as Tottenham Hotspur announces that its first team, starred by English captain Harry Kane, will visit the Republic in July.
While the 25-year-old striker is currently treating an ankle injury, he could return at the end of the month to strengthen the English Premier League title hopes for Tottenham, who currently ranks third behind Manchester City and Liverpool but who is two fingers away?
French skipper and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, winner of the World Cup, English midfielder Dele Alli and South Korean sensation Son Heung Min should also be among the stars of the Spurs.
Tottenham said in a statement Tuesday (February 19th): "We are delighted to announce that the first team will travel to Singapore and Shanghai as part of our pre-season tour in July, in preparation for the 2019/20 season.
"The tour will also allow us to participate in the centennial celebrations of our main global partner, AIA, whose roots go back to Shanghai in 1919.
"Our Singapore and Shanghai tours will be an important part of the Pan Asian Life Insurer's centennial." A 12-month program of special events and activities on its 18 markets in the region has begun. in January.
"The visit also gives the club the opportunity to interact with our millions of fans in Asia, including the official fan clubs of the two countries in which we play games."
The announcement virtually confirms that the Spurs will be one of four teams vying for the International Champions Cup at the National Stadium in July.
Last week, the Straits Times announced that English Premier League clubs Manchester United and Tottenham were confirmed and negotiations are underway to add Italian Juventus and Inter Milan to the roster.
It is understood that the ICC will be held here on July 19-21 and will include four teams – one more than the last two years. But there will only be two games instead of the previous three.
Although the matches are only confirmed on March 27th, the new arrangement avoids the four teams taking a break between games and the weekend schedule should attract more spectators to the National Stadium.
After the Spurs traveled to Singapore for the last time in 1995 after losing 4 to 2 against the Lions on penalties after a 1-1 draw, Asian tours are not new to them. They were in Beijing for the 2009 Premier League Asian Trophy and in Hong Kong for the 2013 edition. They also played in Malaysia in 2015, as well as in Hong Kong in 2017.
Fabius Chen, a 33-year-old official, said, "I was there child in 1995 and it was the first time I looked at them in person." My favorite player at the time was Darren Anderton and I've never been Singapore's Singaporean goalkeeper, David Lee, saved the shot.
"I'll be back in July because as a Singapore fan, the chances of seeing the team live are rare.
"I'm hoping that manager Mauricio Pochettino and defender Toby Aiderweireld will still be at the club, and I'm also looking forward to seeing some new faces that will move the team forward next season, like the attacker." Troy Parrott, and certainly a better result than the last time they were here. "
