Igor Tudor reveals his plan for Tottenham in the North London Derby vs Arsenal
Igor Tudor has given an exciting update on how Tottenham Hotspur will look to approach the upcoming North London derby, and it could have fans on the edge of their seats.
Excitement is beginning to build at Tottenham Hotspur following Igor Tudor’s first interview since he arrived in North London.
The new manager has impressed fans with his words, and they will be keen to see whether he is able to back up what he says on the pitch.
Tudor certainly has a huge task ahead of him, but the Croatian is already putting plans in place ready for Sunday’s derby fixture against Arsenal.

Igor Tudor delivers exciting message to Tottenham fans
Thomas Frank did not win any popularity contests with his uninspiring style of play, but Tudor is seeking to take a different approach.
According to the man himself, the aim is to secure victory while playing in a way which delights the club’s supporters.
Tudor said: “It was a good first session. We started to know each other. One hour, because we had five days free, so first training is not too much, and tomorrow we start to work seriously.”
Speaking on what is to come, he continued: “Big week, yes. Big week, important games. This derby is a fantastic game to play. We want to play this game in a way that our fans will like.
“So, I’m going to give everything what we have, in the right way, brave, but in the same way intelligent and smart to achieve what we want, and that’s the victory.”
Tudor could earn favour at Spurs very quickly
Tottenham have not won a Premier League match since December, so a win in Tudor’s first game would definitely get him in the fans’ good books from the off.
Better still, three points could take Spurs a good few points clear of relegation, while seeing Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League table destabilise.
However, a triumph of this magnitude will not be easy, and Tudor should not be judged after a single fixture if he fails to make the start Tottenham fans are hoping for.
