Spurs' Thomas Frank provides an update on Dejan Kulusevski's recovery, as the club prepares for potential January signings. Frank expresses his eagerness to have Kulusevski back on the pitch, acknowledging the player's crucial role in the team. However, he also highlights the challenges posed by Kulusevski's knee injury, emphasizing the need for patience and understanding.
Frank's comments come amidst a challenging period for the club, with a string of injuries to key attacking players, including Mohammed Kudus, further exacerbating their struggles. Despite their current 13th position in the league and recent poor results, Frank remains optimistic about Spurs' appeal to potential signings. He attributes this to the club's reputation, stadium, training facilities, and overall potential.
However, Frank acknowledges that competing against top-tier clubs like City, Arsenal, and Liverpool may make them less attractive in the short term. He suggests that the availability of playing spots could be a determining factor in attracting players, even if Spurs offer a more appealing long-term prospect. This nuanced approach to recruitment and player retention is a key consideration for Frank as he navigates the challenges of managing a team in transition.
