New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has admitted north London rivals Arsenal are “one of the best teams in the world”. Spurs face Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Thursday and Frank has acknowledged a gulf between the two clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur under Thomas Frank have looked really good as they registered a win over Arsenal in the preseason.

The Australian was very well respected behind the scenes when he was at the club, but he was often viewed as a very serious man. The new Tottenham boss’ personality is quite the opposite, and nobody inside the club has a bad word to say after working with him over the last month.
