Tottenham reveal 31-man pre-season squad with HUGE omission and forgotten stars back – but Kane is on the plane

TOTTENHAM boss Ange Postecoglou has named his squad for the club’s upcoming pre-season tour.

The Lilywhites are set to face West Ham and Leicester in Australia before travelling to Singapore to take on Lion City Sailors.

Harry Kane has been included in the squad despite reports linking him with a transfer.

The striker, who has less than a year remaining on his contract, is being targeted by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

On Thursday, SunSport revealed that representatives from the German side flew to London to hold talks with the Lilywhites this week.

However, Hugo Lloris will not be involved.

The goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move away from North London this summer.

A brief statement on the official club website reads: “Hugo Lloris has been granted permission not to travel in order to explore prospective transfer opportunities.”

Lloris has previously admitted that he wants to leave Tottenham.

In an interview with Nice–Matin, he said: “We have reached an important moment, whether it be for the club or me.

“It’s the end of an era. I have a desire for something else. I will carefully study what is possible.

“However, I haven’t forgotten that I have a year left on my contract at Tottenham, and in football, it’s always hard to predict what will happen.

“The most important thing is I find a project where I thrive.”

Tottenham have already found a replacement for the Frenchman, who made his last Spurs appearance in the club’s 6-1 defeat to Newcastle in April.

Guglielmo Vicario joined in a £16million transfer from Empoli last month.

The Italian has been named as one of the players in Postecoglou’s squad, along with fellow new boy James Maddison.

England international Maddison swapped Leicester for London in a £45million move earlier this summer.

He joins the majority of Tottenham’s first team squad from the 2022-23 campaign, including the likes of Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son.

Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Joe Rodon and Djed Spence have all been named in the 31-man squad following their respective loan spells.

Oliver Skipp, who was included in England’s Under-21’s Euro-winning squad this summer, has also been included.

It leaves the 22-year-old with just a matter of days to impress new boss Postecoglou in training.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Fraser Forster, Bryan Gil, Troy Parrott and Ryan Sessegnon all miss out due to injury.
