Tottenham are set to complete yet another transfer this summer as they get off to a flying start in the off-season under new boss Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham Set to Make Yet Another Signing
A Successful Summer So Far

But Postecoglou’s team-talk at the interval must have worked wonders as his side raced out of the blocks, with Giovani Lo Celso halving the deficit before full-back Destiny Udogie pulled them level. Gianluca Scamacca then found the winner in the second half to give the east London side the bragging rights.
But Postecoglou would have been encouraged by some performances, in particular from Lo Celso and Udogie, as he runs the rule over his squad for the upcoming season. Lo Celso, once a £52million buy from Real Betis after impressing on loan, spent last season with Villarreal and looked certain to depart
