Thomas Frank has dismissed the idea that Tottenham are Premier League title contenders.
Spurs moved up to third in the table with a 3-0 win at Everton on Sunday (26.10.25) but the coach has suggested that his team shouldn’t be considered amongst the leading sides.
Quizzed about a title push, Frank said: “No. I think there’s probably a few teams that are ahead of us. I think it’s fair to say that I’m only thinking of one day, one game at a time. And let’s see where we are in April.”
The manager has made an impressive start in his first season at Spurs and is happy with how the players have responded to him so far.
Frank told reporters: “We are in the beginning of building something, [I am] very happy with a lot of things … defensive side of it, mentality, set pieces.
“But I think there’s a bit we need to work on, especially offensively to be more free flowing still. It’s a long season ahead. Very happy with going away from home after two away games in the Champions League …that’s a big part of it.
“But to continue performing day in, day out is a challenge which we embrace and want to do. So who knows, but I need to take it one game at a time.”
Frank reserved praise for centre-back Micky van de Ven after he headed in two goals and is pleased that the Dutch international has responded to his call for him to score more in the air.
He said: “First and foremost, I think he’s really growing, taking some big steps. I’m very pleased with him overall, I think he’s taking more leadership. I think he’s defending better and better. Not only using his pace but also more clever positions. Very happy with that.
“And then I actually said at the beginning of the season, ‘It is okay you score with your left foot, your right foot, but you need to score headed goals. You’re a centre back, you need to score more of that.'”
