Despite their early exit from the Carabao Cup, Tottenham Hotspur are enjoying a strong start to the season under Thomas Frank. They currently sit third in the Premier League after nine fixtures, above the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Thomas Frank has already improved Spurs in different ways in quite a short period. Tottenham have been compact and disciplined in midfield this season, unlike last term under Ange Postecoglou where opposition found it extremely easy to bypass it. Due to almost a non-existing midfield, their defence came under severe pressure and conceded almost in every single game.

The double pivot of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha have brought stability and balance to the team, whilst providing protection to the back four. While Bentancur and Palhinha’s presence have brought physicality and balance, creativity has been compromised from deep as Spurs continue to struggle to unlock teams.

As a result, Spurs are in the hunt for a box-to-box midfielder with goalscoring ability. Recent reports suggest Napoli’s Scott McTominay has emerged as a target for Thomas Frank’s club.
