Spurs have looked much more dangerous on corner kicks, and they need to be if they are to excel in the Premier League

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.

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.
