Tottenham Hotspur maintained their impressive pre-season form with a 5-2 triumph in a behind-closed-doors friendly against a Japan Youth side.
This fixture was part of Spurs’ pre-season tour in Japan and Korea, aiding their momentum building for the forthcoming season.
Following recent victories, including a 5-1 win over Hearts and a 2-0 victory against QPR, Tottenham again showcased their attacking prowess.
According to Lilywhites Rose on X, Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear both scored braces, while last summer’s signing Alejo Veliz also grabbed a goal.

Throughout the pre-season, Moore and Lankshear have consistently performed. Moore now has 5 goal contributions in 4 games.
Moore, who joined Spurs as an under-9, has steadily progressed through the ranks, boasting an impressive record in the U18 Premier League last season with 14 goals and eight assists in just 12 games.
Lankshear also had an outstanding season, scoring 23 goals in 23 games for Tottenham’s U21 team in the recent Premier League 2 campaign. His exceptional performances earned him the league’s Player of the Season award, showcasing his potential to make a significant impact.
These young players’ contributions in pre-season are catching the attention of manager Ange Postecoglou, who might consider them for first-team opportunities in the upcoming campaign.
This 5-2 victory serves as robust preparation for Spurs’ next pre-season match against J1 League side Vissel Kobe on Saturday.
The performance of Tottenham’s future stars promises an exciting season ahead for the Lilywhites as they continue to develop their young talents and build a formidable squad.
