The fixtures will give Mauricio Pochettino a chance to test his 2018/19 Tottenham side against some of the world’s best, including Barcelona.
The three games take place over a week, with Roma on July 25, Barcelona on the 28th and Ac Milan on the 31st.
The new Premier League season kicks off on August 11, with the transfer window slamming shut on the earlier date of August 9.
Here are the best reactions from Tottenham fans to the fixture news:

At my eyes, that is really smart to play this summer two italian sides, after our defeat against Juventus in CL. But that is also really smart and very interesting to play against maybe one of the best team in the world with Barcelona. Good choices SPURS ! #COYS

However, as with most things these days it was proof that you can’t please all of the people all of the time, with fans on the East Coast complaining they were all on the west, and one fan stating it was ridiculous and that the players would need a break after the World Cup finals.

Absolutely ridiculous, our players obviously won't need a rest after a long hard season and the world cup?
