Dr Shabaaz Mughal, Tottenham’s Head of Medical
and Sports Science, foresees a rewarding partnership that
will ensure Tottenham players can perform at optimal
level: “We are always examining ways we can enhance
our players’ health and performance in order to ensure
they realise their full potential on the pitch and this
partnership can only help us further in achieving this.”

needs of sports clubs and federations throughout the

French football club Paris Saint-Germain and following
the partnership with Tottenham, the hospital is now
