Tottenham Hotspur will be the final team in action on this opening Premier League weekend as they travel to Leicester City on Monday night.
There will be some new faces potentially on display for Tottenham with Ange Postecoglou having seen five new faces signed this summer.
Not all of them will be available with Yang Min-hyeok arriving in January and there may be a lot of fans who don’t count Timo Werner as a new signing.
But Spurs will be ready to go with the likes of Wilson Odobert and Dominic Solanke at their disposal for the trip to the King Power.
There is still two weeks for Johan Lange to wrap up any final pieces of business and Postecoglou has now shared his thoughts on adding to one specific position.

What Ange Postecoglou said about signing a right-back amid links to Vanderson
Tottenham are believed to be readying a £27m bid for Vanderson ahead of the deadline at the end of the month.
This comes after Tottenham have recently sold Emerson Royal to AC Milan in a deal worth around £15m.
But Spurs still have options at right-back and Postecoglou has now shared his thinking behind signing another before deadline day.
Speaking about how he now views Djed Spence‘s involvement, Postecoglou hinted he was expecting to need another right-back this summer.
“Part of me is saying, OK, we need to keep evolving this squad. The guys go out on loan for a reason,” Postecoglou told football.london.
“Have they come back [and now] are they a better fit, are they part of what we’re doing? With Djed, I had an open mind. I certainly think the kind of characteristics he has would fit into our football. It’s then more about, OK, well he obviously didn’t fit last year, will he fit this year?
“He’s had a good pre-season. He’s trained really well. He seems to have fit into the group really well.”
Tottenham do not need to sign another right-back
Spence has seriously impressed Postecoglou in Tottenham’s pre-season friendlies and he’s shown he’s more than capable of playing the backup role to Pedro Porro.
Spurs have no need to go and spend in the region of £30m on another right-back.
Of course, having a squad brimming with quality is great but it is about managing the players once they’re through the door and would Vanderson be happy sitting on the bench regularly?
Given there are only two weeks remaining in the window, there are far more pressing matters than finding a new right-back.
Another left-back who is capable of providing a similar product to what Destiny Udogie offers would be far more beneficial for Spurs.
