Though new head coach Thomas Frank was unable to call upon three senior players across both fixtures with Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dominic Solanke all absent.

That said, summer signing Mohammed Kudus was on show at Kenilworth Road and he came closest to breaking the deadlock in an otherwise dull first-half of the second friendly.

Played in by Mathys Tel – getting his first pre-season minutes after representing France at the U21 European Championships earlier in the summer – Kudus’ effort beat former Spurs keeper Josh Keeley but Christ Makosso got back to make an excellent goal-line clearance.

Tottenham had Antonin Kinsky to thank for not falling behind early in the second half as substitute goalkeeper was equal to a volley from Nakhi Wells. At the other end, Kudus almost forced a winner with his final touch of the game but the hosts managed to scramble the ball clear.

A raft of changes from both sides in the final 15 minutes resulted in the game become rather disjointed, although Will Lankshear – who scored in the win over Reading last week – spurned a great chance to win it for Spurs right at the end but rolled his effort wide of the post.

Ultimately for the north London outfit, the result and performance was never going to be off massive importance as Frank achieved his goal of getting more minutes into legs of several first-team players as well as handing more youngsters an opportunity.

Spurs head to Hong Kong next week for their pre-season summer tour of Asia, facing Arsenal on Thursday before travelling to South Korea to play Newcastle on August 3.

Frank’s side will conclude their pre-season on August 7 in Germany as they take on Bayern Munich and Harry Kane before their campaign officially gets underway with the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain at in Udine on August 13.
