Tottenham press conference LIVE - Thomas Frank on Conor Gallagher, Souza, Bergvall and transfers

2 hours ago 2

Thomas Frank is holding his press conference on Thursday ahead of Tottenham's Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday.

After weeks which have been spent speaking about injuries or defeats, the Spurs boss finally has some positive conversation topics after a busy few days in the winter transfer window for the north London club.

Tottenham have signed former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher in a £34.7million move from Atletico Madrid to bolster his options after Rodrigo Bentancur underwent hamstring surgery, which is expected to require three months of rehabilitation. Spurs are also set to bring in 19-year-old Brazilian left-back Souza in a £13million switch from Santos as he awaits a work permit.

Frank will hopefully speak about both players if the latter's deal is confirmed before his later than usual 4pm press conference and the Dane will explain whether Gallagher can come straight into his Tottenham side for a big London derby against West Ham.

The head coach will also deliver some injury updates, with Lucas Bergvall of particular concern to the Tottenham supporters, as well as news on further transfer moves for the club both in and out of the north London outfit and the impending departure of sporting director Fabio Paratici as well as the appointment of a new assistant manager in John Heitinga.

Our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Frank. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at Hotspur Way.
