New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has disclosed that the club will approach tomorrow’s preseason friendly game against Arsenal like a derby.
The fierce rivals will lock horns on Thursday in the first North London derby outside British shores.
Speaking with the club’s website, Frank stated that Arsenal’s game in Hong Kong would be his first “great challenge” since taking charge of Tottenham.
“It’s a great challenge,” the Dane told reporters at 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, which is sold out for the match.

“Besides being our big rivals, and the first North London derby outside the UK, they are also, right now, one of the best teams, I must say unfortunately, in the world,” he said with a smile.
“Against Arsenal it’s not only a friendly and we’ll do everything we can to win.”
Frank took over last month from Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked despite leading Tottenham to Europa League glory and ending a 17-year trophy drought.
