Tottenham Hotspur skipped a trip to the United States in 2013, but you'll be able to catch them in North America this coming summer. They've already announced a pair of preseason tour dates.
The tour will commence with our first-ever visit to Seattle. We face @soundersfc at CenturyLink Field on Saturday, July 19.

Spurs have spent time in California and on the east coast during their recent trips to the United States, so it's nice to see that they'll be giving their fans in the pacific northwest and the midwest a chance to see their team that they wouldn't get otherwise.
It's worth noting that these are just the games that Spurs are announcing right now. I doubt they'd make a trip to the west coast of the United States and play just two games in the country. Expect to see another date booked in a third city at some point.
