Tottenham Hotspur have caught the attention of the rest of the Premier League with their lavish outlay this summer and travel across London to Brentford to kick off their campaign.
Spurs will field some new faces, including Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, while their spending is rocketing towards £400m after agreeing a deal to sign Savinho for £85m and the Brazilian’s Man City teammate Omar Marmoush is also a target.
The Bees are settled under Keith Andrews and could kick on again this season after a fine ninth place finish last term.
