Eddie Howe‘s side were thrashed 4-0 by Celtic last month ahead of their Asian tour.

They have since suffered narrow defeats to Arsenal and a K-League XI in Singapore and South Korea, respectively.

Meanwhile, Spurs beat League One Reading in their pre-season opener on July 19.

That win was followed up by a pair of draws in their double-header with Wycombe and Luton last weekend.

However, Thomas Frank was able to taste victory in his first north London derby on Thursday thanks to a 1-0 win over the Gunners in Hong Kong.

It could also be Heung-min Son‘s final game after he confirmed he would leave the club this summer.

Newcastle vs Tottenham: What has been said

Following the loss to the K-League XI, Howe was asked about the situation at the club amid the uncertainty regarding Isak’s future.

He explained: “Nothing has changed. It is very much the mindset of business as usual for the players.

“You don’t get a chance to think of anything other than training or the next game when you come on these tours. The level is so high that we still have to be at our best.

“Naturally, we are going to miss a player of his quality and the group are going to feel that. I cannot sit here and claim that they won’t, but they are a very professional group of players.

“They are doing brilliantly, as far as I can see, in terms of managing the current situation.”

Meanwhile, Son confirmed he was off in an emotional pre-match press conference.

“Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that I’ve decided to leave the club in the summer.

“And respectfully, the club is helping me with my decision.

“So I just want to share this information before we start the press conference.

“It was the most difficult decision of my football career.

“I’ve been here ten years at a beautiful club with beautiful fans and having such amazing memories.

“And after all that, it was so hard to make this decision. But as I said, I feel like I need a new environment and to push myself.

“And to get more of me, I feel like I need a little bit of change. Ten years is a lot of time when you’re thinking about it.

“So and I came to London as a kid. 23 years old, a very young age [and] a young boy came to London who even didn’t speak English.

“And [I’m] leaving this club as a grown man. This is a very, very proud moment.

“So I just wanna say thank you to all of the Spurs fans that gave me so much love.

“I felt like it was my home. But yeah, it was, it was one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made.”
