Tottenham manager Thomas Frank clearly wants more depth in every position for this season
Tottenham are prepared to compete hard on all four fronts this season as Thomas Frank wants to make his mark at N17. The Danish tactician does not want his team to slow down their tempo in any game as the Lilywhites look to build on the Europa League success this year. The fans will also hope that the players can show the fight and hunger to add more trophies to their collection this season.
One can agree that this is easier said than done, and Thomas Frank will need his squad to be fit for most of the games if they want to make a charge for a major trophy. But the ex-Brentford boss is keen to lead Spurs to glory and has indicated many times that he wants the club to become ‘serial winners.’
The Lilywhites have brought in new players in every department, except the #9 position. They have Dominic Solanke and Richarlison leading the team up front, and fans will hope that the pair remains fit for most games this season. The former is keen to build on his first season at N17 after a ‘stop-start’ campaign. While the latter is still trying to become the main man up top after an unsuccessful time at the club.
Thomas Frank wants Tottenham to have ‘two good strikers’ this season
It has been made clear that Tottenham are not going to be in the market for a new striker for this season. The Lilywhites have decided to rely on Dominic Solanke and Richarlison for the time being. And it is fair to say that the latter has somewhat repaid Thomas Frank’s faith in him as he got on the scoresheet for Spurs against Burnley in the club’s Premier League opener.
Now, the Spurs manager wants his two strikers to remain fit and fight for a place in the starting eleven. Speaking in his post-match presser (as transcribed by Football.London), Frank said,
“The dream scenario is to have two good strikers. We need that. We’re hopefully playing more than 60 games this season, that’ll be great as we’d have done something right and for that you need double positions. You need that.”
Thomas Frank has indicated that the ‘dream scenario’ for Tottenham would be to keep Dominic Solanke and Richarlison fit this season. The Danish tactician suggested that his team might play more than 60 games this season, and having two strikers would increase their chances of competing hard. The Spurs manager is looking for depth in every department, so keeping the duo fit will be a priority.
All eyes will be on Richarlison and Dominic Solanke now as they tend to prove their worth at N17. As of now, the Brazilian is currently Thomas Frank’s favoured option up top after a brilliant display against Burnley. But the Spurs manager will keep the 28-year-old’s fitness in mind, and will rotate the pair accordingly throughout the season.
