Thomas Frank makes surprise claim about Tottenham’s full-back plans, and fans won’t like it
Thomas Frank appears relaxed about Tottenham’s current full-back options despite visible pre-season gaps coming to the fray.
Pre-season often allows teams to assess their strengths and weaknesses well before the start of a new campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur under Thomas Frank have had such an opportunity, with pre-season preparations already outlining a few positions that need strengthening.
Injuries have already hit the attacking midfield position, while Destiny Udogie’s injury has also exposed a problem in the full-back position.

However, while fans of the Lilywhites have been quick to call on the club to strengthen their depth in the full-back position, naming their preferred signing, Frank seems to believe that Tottenham are very much covered in that area.
Thomas Frank, speaking to football.london, has now revealed that Tottenham are not looking to add any more full-backs to their ranks, suggesting that the club already have sufficient cover in those wide defensive areas.
“Yeah, I think so [we have enough full-backs] because right now we have Ben and Spence. I thought [Djed] was very good against Arsenal and did very well against Saka, and I think Ben is a very important player,” Frank told football.london.
Davies and Spence remain unconvincing options for Spurs
While Ben Davies is capable of filling in at left-back, there is a question mark over whether he has the quality to be a back-up option for Tottenham at this level.
So far in pre-season, the veteran defender has looked off the pace, often struggling to keep up with the speed of the game, which does little to inspire confidence at the back.
Destiny Udogie’s injury struggle means he would not feature in every game this season, which leaves Tottenham’s current full-back depth at just Ben Davies and Djed Spence at left-back, while Pedro Porro is the only recognised right-back, with Archie Gray capable of filling in as a makeshift option, which is not ideal.
