Tottenham Seeks Fully Committed Players for January Transfers, Says Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank has stated that Tottenham Hotspur will target only “fully committed” players during the upcoming January transfer window. The Danish coach, who took over from Ange Postecoglou in June, has faced challenges, securing just 10 wins in 26 matches. As Christmas approached, Spurs found themselves positioned 14th in the Premier League standings.
Importance of Commitment in Transfers
Frank emphasized the need for potential signings to be completely on board with Tottenham’s project. He remarked, “Any player we sign needs to be fully committed to the project. Character is the most important thing.” He stressed that alignment with the team’s goals is crucial for success.
Recent Changes at Tottenham
The football club has undergone significant changes recently. After Daniel Levy’s departure as chairman in September, control has shifted to the Lewis family trust, which oversees ENIC. Their objective is clear: “more wins, more often.” Despite these changes, Tottenham has struggled to adapt, with Frank also juggling domestic and European competitions.
Frank’s Optimism for Future Success
Despite recent results, the 52-year-old coach remains confident in his ability to rebuild the team. Referencing past experiences, he noted, “At Brondby, I didn’t win the first eight games and then we were unbeaten in nine.” He believes a similar turnaround is possible at Tottenham.
Maintaining a Positive Outlook
Frank maintains a positive outlook, stating, “The good thing is I’ve always been a good sleeper.” He recognizes the need for improvement but remains clear about the club’s intentions. “We want to be consistent and find a competitive team week in, week out,” he added.
Looking Ahead
As Tottenham prepares for January’s transfer window, the focus will be on acquiring players who share the club’s vision and can contribute to future successes. Frank’s resolve to build a competitive team remains unwavering, and he is hopeful that better results are on the horizon.
