'Sell the project'- Thomas Frank reveals how he convinces players to join Tottenham

The arrival of the Ghana international gave Spurs fans some belief that more quality players were going to arrive before the transfer window shut. And that is exactly what happened, as the Lilywhites confirmed the arrival of Joao Palhinha on a season-long loan from Bayern Munich. But it is important to note that Tottenham are still not done in the market, and there is a possibility that another player arrives before deadline day.

Thomas Frank admits he is ‘honest’ with players while trying to sign them for Tottenham

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is certainly working his magic both on and off the pitch. The Danish tactician has endured a brilliant start to the season with the Lilywhites, winning his first two games of the new Premier League season. And the convincing performances on the pitch have certainly helped him lure more players in during the summer.

Now, Thomas Frank has shared how he manages to ‘sell’ the project to potential signings during negotiations. Speaking in his pre-match presser (via Hayters TV) Frank said,

“When I speak to them, I’m pretty direct and honest in how I see the player. Of course I want to sell the Tottenham project, but I’m always direct in terms of how I see their role and what we hopefully can make them to become.”

The Spurs manager added,

“Also that it will be a fantastic journey, but also there can be ups and downs in that journey and there’s bits they need to work on. We go into that, then I sign off – I would like the player, but the player also needs to sign off to the project and the role.”

Thomas Frank suggests that he is honest with the players, with regard to how they would be utilised at Tottenham and what role they will have in the team. The Danish tactician also indicates that he tries to ‘sell’ the Tottenham project by admitting that there will be ups and downs in the journey. Frank suggests that he only goes through with the signing if the player buys into the project and is willing to play for the club.

Well, the Spurs manager has managed to do a pretty good job in convincing the player to join the North London club. It is clear that Thomas Frank is not messing around and he wants to make the Lilywhites ‘serial winners’ during his time at N17. That will only be possible if the players are buying into the ideas and giving their all while donning the Tottenham jersey.
