Up until now, there has been more talk about the future of Harry Kane than there has about the progression that Spurs could make under Ange Postecoglou.
If reports are to be believed, that will soon come to a head if the club’s all-time leading goalscorer continues to refuse to pen a new long-term contract, yet Postecoglou can only focus on the games available before the start of the new Premier League campaign.
As it stands, Spurs have participated in just one match, that coming against West Ham in a game in which they lost by a 3-2 scoreline Down Under.
Postecoglou initially witnessed his side fight back from 2-0 down to get back on level terms before they succumbed to a 78th-minute winner from the Hammers.
The Greek-Australian will be eager to see improvements from that fixture, particularly when Spurs still have the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk and Barcelona on their schedule ahead of their top-flight opener with Brentford on August 13.
While the game in Singapore is essentially being staged to enhance the club’s reputation in that part of the world, Spurs will still want to put on a performance against their upcoming opponents.
Lion City Sailors currently sit in third position in their nation’s top flight having accumulated 42 points from their 20 league fixtures.

Their cause has not been helped by losing two of their last three games, although LCS did come from behind to record a 3-2 triumph over Tanjong Pagar on July 20.
A potential measuring stick for Spurs is Lion City Sailors squaring off against a Borussia Dortmund XI in November, the German side prevailing by a 7-2 scoreline.
Postecoglou named separate sides for each half against West Ham, allowing for 22 players each to receive 45 minutes of action apiece.However, the assumption is that a stronger side will be named for this game, the likes of Destiny Udogie and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in line to be handed opportunities from the start.
