  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The two Premier League clubs met for a bizarre friendly in Melbourne just days after the 2023-24 season ended last summer and reports say the two powerhouses will meet again in the summer, this time in South Korea.

  • Tottenham Hotspur FC v Newcastle United FCGetty Images Sport

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Fans will undoubtedly flock to Seoul to get a glimpse of Spurs captain Heung-Min Son and a bumper 60,000 crowd is expected to fill the World Cup Stadium if the game does go ahead. The match also provides a huge financial opportunity for both clubs, with merchandise and other events sure to bring in cash for the Magpies as well.

  • WHAT THE FANS SAID

    After the drama Down Under in 2024, fans have had a mixed reaction to the news that the two teams could meet again.

    @Jlsmithyido pointed to a potential money-grabbing scheme, saying: "Always about the money."

    @cfcnewton added: "Injuries players knackered don’t count when it comes to money."

    @blower_keith added: "Greed ,concentrate on getting a team that can challenge and a manager that can motivate."

    Newcastle fan @Bob_Helpful saw the funny side of the meeting, poking fun at Spurs, saying: "Shouldn’t we be trying to play elite opposition?"

    And @DickShort14 questioned why the Magpies could not play a Saudi Pro League side, posting: "We should play a top Saudi team with a prize of a billion pounds for the winner."

    WHAT NEXT?

    The finer details of the meeting in South Korea still need ironing out but Tottenham have confirmed that they will face arch-rivals Arsenal outside of the United Kingdom for the first time during their tour of Asia. With Newcastle also potentially on their schedule, it will give both sides a good opportunity to sound out some of their opponents ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
