'The whole team is finally in full force.'

Tottenham Hotspur have finally realized the lineup pursued by coach Enze Postecoglou. Starting with a strong front-line striker, Son Heung-min, the league's top winger, hits from the left side. The defense behind the four-back is reliable. In addition, Archie Gray, a young midfielder with a versatile talent, adds stability to the team as a defensive midfielder.

'Complete Power' There is a reason why local experts in the UK rate it as 'deserves to be in the top 4'. Ahead of the opening match of the 2024-2025 season against Leicester City, local soccer media predicted Tottenham's opening starting lineup.

90MIN, a British football media outlet, unveiled the expected starting lineup of Tottenham ahead of the opening match of the 2024-2025 season against Leicester City on the 18th (Korea time). Tottenham have successfully recruited in the summer transfer market ahead of this season. After recruiting top 10 top talents such as Archie Gray, Lucas Veribal, and Yang Min-hyuk, he finally succeeded in recruiting frontline strikers, which was his ultimate goal, just before the opening.

It was the focus of his career when he signed Dominic Solanke for £65 million. Coach Postecoglou has finally filled the 'orthodox front-line striker' spot he wanted all last season. Last season, flanker Son Heung-min was forced to fill the spot.

However, with Solanke joining, Son Heung-min will be able to shake off the burden of the front-line striker and return to his original position. Tottenham's power composition has developed more stably. The media expected Tottenham to operate a 4-2-3-1 formation in the away opening game of the season against Leicester City at 4 a.m. on the 20th.

The one-top is of course Solanke's. The media said it was unclear whether he would start the opening game originally due to a light foot injury, but according to Postecoglou, he is very likely to start, adding that the expectation is high for Solanke, who scored 19 goals last season.

The second line of attack was decided by Son Heung-min, James Madison, and Dejan Kulusevski. It's a natural choice. Son returned to his original position, the left wing. The media said 'The recruitment of the authentic No. 9 striker means Son Heung-min will play steadily on the left side, which he prefers. Son Heung-min has been constantly supplying balls even during the sluggish season, expecting Son's capabilities to shine more.

Pape Sarr and 'Newcomer'Archie Gray are listed in the projected starting lineup for defensive midfielders. Pape Sarr is originally a mainstay, but Gray's expectations for an opening start are unconventional. It seems that Gray was put in the starting lineup because his opponent was Leicester City. This is because he led Leicester City to victory twice last season as a member of Championship Leeds United. That confidence is expected to give the team a boost.

Destiny Udoji, Mickey Van der Pan, Christian Romero and Pedro Porpo are expected to come out in the four-back. The goal belongs to Guglielmo Vicario. The rear lineup is also likely to regain its health and not be too shaken.
