Tottenham's training pitches at Hotspur Way were busy once again as Thomas Frank continued to drill his methodology into his players.

After a day off on Sunday for the squad, the Spurs players were back at it in the sunshine on Monday at the Enfield training complex and the new head coach Frank and his staff kept working with them on his philosophy ahead of their first match under him this weekend. For on Saturday, Tottenham will make their way to Reading for the first pre-season friendly of the summer (3pm kick-off).

There was a new signing involved in training on Monday as Mohammed Kudus got to work with his Tottenham team-mates following his £55million move from West Ham United following all of his testing and bloodwork in previous days.

Here are five things we spotted from the footage of training released by the club.

An experienced chat

If you could pick any Spurs player to give Kudus the lowdown on life at the club and explain where to go and and what to do, it would probably be that stalwart and top professional that is Ben Davies.

The 32-year-old has now been at the club for 11 years and is the longest-serving player in the first team squad. He could be seen in the gym before the session on an exercise bike alongside Kudus and seemed to be doing plenty of talking while the 24-year-old listened intently.

It is still unclear whether Davies will finish the summer with the club after Tottenham took up the option to extend his contract by another 12 months, but the Welshman certainly looked to be helping someone at the start of their own Spurs career

Another new face

It's not just the playing squad that has new faces as we got to see new first team individual development coach Cameron Campbell in action.

The 33-year-old Scot had previously been head of player development at RB Leipzig and now he will bring his talents to Spurs after Frank and technical director Johan Lange pushed for such a role within the set-up.

"We have added Cameron Campbell, who is individual coach and big on how we develop the players," said Frank this month. "That was a big wish from both Johan and I, it was something we talked about that we thought was crucial and I think not many clubs have actually nailed that. We tried in the past, I tried in the past, so hopefully we can take it to the next level."

Campbell could be seen interacting with Kudus as well as running a fiercely-contested rondo on one of the pitches, including the likes of Cristian Romero, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and George Abbott with Frank looking on.

Moore returns

One of the last group of players to return to Tottenham training this summer is those who were involved at the U21 and U19 European Championships, who were all given extra time off to rest.

While Archie Gray won the former with England and Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert reached the semi-finals with France, Mikey Moore exited at the group stage with the U19s a week or so beforehand. The 17-year-old suffered a nasty looking ankle roll during the competition but was back on the bench in case of an emergency in the final game as England crashed out.

The teenager looks to be fine all these weeks on though as he seems to be the first one back from that group and could be spotted in the background back at the club and in training, taking part in another rondo with players like Richarlison, Davies, Luka Vuskovic, Kevin Danso, Jamie Donley and Yves Bissouma.

Donley precision

Another talented youngster looking to make his mark on Frank and his coaching staff this summer is Jamie Donley. The 20-year-old enjoyed a great season at Leyton Orient last time out with 11 assists and eight goals in his first senior loan as he helped them reach the League One play-offs.

After the rondos in training, the players switched to small-sided matches with mini goals with Frank watching on. Donley could be seen in one moment taking a knee-high pass well with great improvisation before immediately threading a left-footed through ball up the pitch that was seemingly sent into the net by someone, because it brought cheers from the players and applause from Donley, who then pumped his fist in the air towards someone.

Frank will ultimately decide whether Donley heads back out on loan or gets a chance this season as a homegrown player in a busy campaign.

Laughs with Kudus

As this video was focused mostly on Kudus' first training session with the squad there was plenty of footage of the Ghana international and how he interacted with others.

During one moment in the earlier rondos - piggy in the middle as it was called back in the playground days - the former West Ham man found himself free with Djed Spence to simply pass the ball amongst the two of them as those in the middle failed to come across. The Tottenham full-back found that most amusing as they probably took 10 or so touches each unchallenged before Kudus decided to pass it back across the circle.

After the mini-goal match, the team switched to bigger goals for a session and after it finished, Romero could be seen walking up behind Kudus and saying something to the new signing, who stopped, and the Argentine gestured with his hands while smiling, which brought a grin from the attacker in return.

Kudus could be seen linking up with Yang Min-hyeok on the training pitches on various occasions and then when walking off towards the building at the end, shared an embrace with another South Korean in skipper Son Heung-min after receiving a hug himself from Guglielmo Vicario in the training debrief.

Everyone appeared to be making Kudus feel at home, not least the experienced heads at the club.
