Tottenham are backing Thomas Frank this summer ahead of the new Premier League season.
Spurs have already landed Mohammed Kudus for £55million, but they are stepping up their recruitment further.
Man City have held talks with Tottenham over Savinho, with a fee of around £45m being discussed.
However, the North London club are now backing Frank on the training ground by doing something they also did for Harry Kane.
Tottenham make training ground amendments for Frank
Frank will need to improve Spurs’ defensive record ahead of the new campaign if they are to witness positive change.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Last season, the North London outfit conceded the fifth-highest number of goals in a season plagued by injuries.
While the defence will be a focus on the training ground, there is clearly room for fun to be had by the Dane, too.
That is because a new padel court is being installed at the state-of-the-art facility in Enfield, according to Mike Keegan of the Daily Mail, page 61 (11 July).
Frank is an avid padel player and defeated the publication’s Oliver Holt and a friend 6-0, 6-0 in a doubles match while he was Brentford boss.
The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham installed a putting green in 2019, with Kane among a group of keen golfers at the North London club.
Frank must now drive Spurs forward against PSG
Now that pre-season is complete, Tottenham are preparing to face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final.
The Lilywhites will be underdogs heading into the game, but Frank will be hoping to spring a surprise result.
Last season, Luis Enrique’s side won the Champions League in some style by dismantling Inter Milan with ease.
However, they showed their frailties in the FIFA Club World Cup final against Chelsea, meaning they can be beaten.
Having been beaten 4-0 by Bayern Munich, Tottenham will have to be at their defensive best to claim a result.
With the Lilywhites heading into the final as underdogs, they must channel that label to drive them to an unlikely win.
