New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has admitted north London rivals Arsenal are “one of the best teams in the world”. Spurs face Arsenal in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Thursday and Frank has acknowledged a gulf between the two clubs.

After shaking the hands of a few journalists, Frank began his press conference with a touching tribute to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva before he was asked about a range of different topics including the futures of Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero, interest in Morgan Gibbs-White and how he wants Spurs to play next season.
