Tottenham Hotspur have announced that they will take on Juventus at Wembley Stadium next month in their first match there since leaving White Hart Lane.

The Lilywhites are due to play all of their competitive home fixtures at the national stadium in 2017-18 while work continues on their new ground, which should be complete in time for the following season.

Last season's Champions League runners-up Juventus will visit the capital on August 5 in a high-profile friendly, less than 24 hours before Arsenal and Chelsea lock horns at the same venue in the Community Shield.

"This match will form an important part of our preparations, particularly with the Premier League season starting just a week later," boss Mauricio Pochettino told the club's official website.

"We met Juventus in Australia during pre-season last year and it was a highly competitive game, very useful for us, and we expect a similar game this year at Wembley."

Both clubs will also compete in the International Champions Cup in the United States later this month, with Spurs due to face Paris Saint-Germain, Roma and Manchester City.
