Tottenham Hotspur to play Hong Kong champions Kitchee in friendly at end of May

English Premier League title-chasers Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Asia to play a friendly against recently-crowned Hong Kong champions Kitchee at the end of May, the London club said on Monday.

The game, which will be played at Hong Kong Stadium on May 26, will take place less than a week after the conclusion of the English league season.

It will be part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the return of the former British colony to Chinese rule.
