Thomas Frank will be in the dugout for the first time as Tottenham head coach on Saturday. Spurs start their pre-season fixtures with a game away at League One side Reading.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for the new Tottenham boss after getting down to work with his squad at the club’s Hotspur Way base. Using the time to get his football philosophy across and take a good look at his players as they fight for a position in his starting XI, Saturday’s game in Berkshire will give a glimpse of what’s to come for Spurs under the Dane.
The 51-year-old currently has the vast majority of his squad to work with due to no senior international football tournaments taking place this summer. Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and Mathys Tel will be the last to return after playing international football until the end of June.
Due to the sheer size of his squad, Frank will want to take a closer look at his players on the pitch before any final transfer decisions are made. Although his starting XI may be a bit mix and match at Reading, Frank can actually go extremely strong if he wants to see his best Tottenham team in action at the first time of asking.
Here we take a look at the strongest team he can field at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this weekend.
