The goalkeeper was with Spurs from the age of 10 and won a Europa League medal in May but walked away in pursuit of happiness

Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday evening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in what is the start of what could prove a difficult run, with Manchester United and Arsenal up next.

Newcastle United defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round 2-0, thanks to goals scored by Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade.

Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur meet for the first time this season and it's a knockout affair when the League Cup fourth round hits St. James' Park on Wednesday.

Tottenham have been largely no-frills so far this season, but sit third in the Premier League - should fans adjust their thinking?

Chelsea successfully scored four goals both times, on their last two visits to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Their last face off was won by Cole Palmer's penalty, which gave the Blues their eighth win from 11 matches against their rivals. Needless to say, Tottenham will be keen to tip the scales in their favour again this weekend.

Spurs have a laundry list of injuries and an away midweek League Cup challenge with which to contend, but enter this affair with a three-point advantage on the Blues.

A fourth-round trip to Newcastle always looked like being tough and so it proved, as Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade earned the Magpies a 2-0 win at St James' Park. This was the first time Spurs have lost on the road this season and it stalls their moment after an impressive win over Everton on Sunday.
