Thomas Frank has annoyed a number of Tottenham players after repeatedly mentioning Arsenal in conversations at the club, according to a report.
Frank, who has been linked with Tottenham in recent weeks, is said to have made “constant” references to Spurs’ north London rivals, leaving some within the squad frustrated. The message from the dressing room was clear: “Just shut up about Arsenal!”
The report claims the Danish coach’s focus on Arsenal became a talking point behind the scenes, with players unhappy that their rivals were being brought up so often rather than keeping attention on Tottenham’s own targets.
It has been revealed that the Arsenal comments were not a one-off, but a repeated theme that began to grate on members of the squad as discussions continued.
Tottenham have endured a turbulent period and the atmosphere around the club remains tense, with any mention of Arsenal always likely to hit a nerve given the rivalry between the two sides.
For now, Spurs are looking ahead, but the report underlines how quickly the subject of Arsenal can cause irritation inside Tottenham, especially when it feels like the conversation is happening too often.
