Tottenham will play in South Korea as part of their pre-season plans, the club said Monday, having already committed to a friendly against rivals Arsenal in Hong Kong.

The London club, who face Manchester United this Wednesday in Bilbao in the Europa League final, are captained by South Korea skipper Son Heung-min.

It will be Tottenham's fifth trip to South Korea, and they will play in the 2025 Coupang Play Series.

The club said it will release fixture information "in due course".

Ange Postecoglou's side will play Arsenal on July 31 in Hong Kong in the first north London derby to be contested outside the United Kingdom.

The game at the new 50,000-capacity Kai Tak stadium has sold out.
