LONDON, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- Tottenham Hotspur's first team players have wore special edition t-shirts celebrating Chinese New Year during training on Friday ahead of the North London Derby with Arsenal, the English Premier League club said on Saturday.
The club has an estimated fan base of around 45 million in China, with major Official Supporters Clubs in Beijing and Shanghai, engaging daily via its offering of exclusive and bespoke content across its popular and growing social media channels.
To mark the Year of the Dog, the club has also launched a game called Jump Into The Year of the Dog, which aims to guide Chirpy, Tottenham Hotspur's popular mascot, from one platform to another by jumping right or left, gaining points for each transition and picking up bonus points on certain platforms.
In addition, the first team's training session was live streamed in China with club ambassador and former captain, Ledley King, answering questions from fans during the broadcast.
The club's Shanghai Spurs Supporters' Club will hold a viewing party of the North London Derby, attended by Chirpy, and a range of exclusive content will be released across the club's Chinese channels throughout the New Year period, the club said in a statement. Enditem
