Thomas Frank refuses to put timeline on Tottenham’s Premier League title quest

Thomas Frank has no issue with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy calling on the club to win the Premier League, but is not ready to set a deadline on when he will achieve the improbable dream.

Spurs claimed Europa League success in May to end a 17-year wait for silverware, but Levy ruthlessly dismissed Ange Postecoglou after a difficult domestic campaign where the club finished one place above the relegation zone.

Despite Tottenham’s Premier League struggles after an injury-ravaged season, Levy made the bold claim last month that they “need” to win the title.

Frank said: “I share his ambitions for the club. A club of this size should have that ambition.

“How far away we are is probably very difficult to say, but we should throw it forward and go for it.

“No doubt that needs to be the aim for the future. What are to odds for us winning the PL this season?

“I’m not allowed to gamble either, so I think we’re probably not the favourites. Probably three teams at least ahead of us but we will do what we can to build a strong and competitive team.”

Brave. Aggressive. Attack.
