Thomas Frank has wasted little time in putting in one of his first requests to improve the facilities at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground.
Tottenham’s Hotspur Way facility is regarded as one of the most impressive training grounds in world football, having first opened its doors back in 2012.
Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham head coach in June has been busy with pre-season preparations which have included trips to Hong Kong, South Korea and Germany.
The Dane is currently preparing his players ahead of Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup final against PSG in Italy.
Thomas Frank requests padel court at Hotspur Way
Despite the abundance of facilities currently at Hotspur Way which includes a putting green having been added to he complex in 2019, a padel court is currently being installed at the state-of-the-art complex, according to the Daily Mail.
Frank is understood to be a keen padel player during his time in charge of Brentford, where a court was added during his time in charge of the Bees.
Hotspur Way also boasts player accommodation called, the Lodge which is adjacent to the training ground where players and backroom staff can stay within a 40-bedroom, two-floor, purpose-built crescent building.
Investment also needs to be made in the first-team squad
Daniel Levy wants Tottenham to win the Premier League and Champions League having made the claim in a recent interview with the club, something which seems to be completely unrealistic given the current shortage of depth in the first-team squad.
We all witnessed Ange Postecoglou struggle at times with the fixture schedule of trying to field strong teams in the Europa League and Premier League, with our domestic form having been the worst in living memory.
If Levy wants to compete, a padel pitch is great for team morale but significant investment has to be made in the first-team before the transfer window closes.
