Igor Tudor will take charge of Tottenham Hotspur for the first time when they face Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.
The Croatian took charge of the Lilywhites earlier this month, following the sacking of Thomas Frank after a disastrous spell in charge.
Tudor has signed a deal until the end of the current campaign, but he faces an extremely tough test in his first game as his side host Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Off the pitch, it has emerged that Tottenham are one of two London sides chasing a highly rated Japanese striker.
According to Sports Boom, via CaughtOffside, both Spurs and Chelsea are monitoring Sint-Truiden forward Keisuke Goto.
The report claims that the two Premier League sides are both keeping tabs on the 20-year-old, who is currently on loan from Belgian side Anderlecht.

Goto has scored 12 goals in 25 games for Sint-Truiden so far this season, but his performances haven’t gone unnoticed.
According to the report, the player could be on the move this summer and is likely to be available for a fee in the region of £15 million, which could make him an attractive option for Chelsea or Spurs as they assess the transfer market.
Goto initially joined Anderlecht’s academy on loan from Japanese side Jubilo Iwata in 2024, before making the move permanent last year.
Chelsea have adopted a transfer policy in recent years which has seen the west London club sign talented young players from across the globe, and Goto would very much fit into that profile.
The Blues could also be on the hunt for attacking reinforcements this summer amid Liam Delap’s struggles in front of goal.
Spurs, meanwhile, are said to be considering a move to sign Goto, who has 16 goal involvements across all competitions so far this term.
