The Tottenham Hotspur players and backroom staff have boarded their flight to Hong Kong to continue their pre-season preparations.
The North Londoners played two friendlies on Sunday, firstly Tottenham drew 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers at Hotspur Way and were later held to a 0-0 draw at Luton Town.
Tottenham will next face North London rivals Arsenal on July 31st at the recently opened 50,000-capacity Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong and it represents the first time the two Premier League sides have faced each other overseas.
Spurs will later travel to South Korea to take on Newcastle United at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on August 3rd.

Mikey Moore, Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett have all not made the trip as they look to secure loan deals.
Tottenham need to step up their transfer activity
The match at Luton Town once again highlighted the need to sign a new number ten who can influence matters in the final third of the pitch.
It is a huge frustration once again that Tottenham have not been able to get enough signings over the line to allow any new arrivals plenty of time to settle in with their new team-mates.
Morgan Gibbs-White will not be joining Tottenham after he signed a new contract to remain at Nottingham Forest.
We have seen the likes of Liverpool move quick to get their summer business done early and now we appear to be back to the drawing board when it comes to signing a number ten with Eberechi Eze also said to be closing in on a move to Arsenal.
The squad depth was simply not there last season, and we’re about to head into a campaign which will see us in the Champions League. If Levy is expecting Thomas Frank to compete in both the Premier League and in Europe, without some experienced players, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
