Tottenham star demands to leave and will ‘only U-turn if Frank sacked’ | Football | Sport

Despite a promising six-month spell under former head coach Ange Postecoglou, Tel has struggled for starts under the Australian’s successor, scoring three times. The young forward was initially omitted from Tottenham’s Champions League squad in September, though he was subsequently reinstated in December after Dominic Solanke’s injury problems.

And Sky Sports Germany claim that he is set to depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium unless Frank his relived of his duties before Monday’s transfer deadline. It is claimed that Tel feels unfairly treated by the Dane.

The report adds that a return to the Bundesliga is not currently on the cards. However, Ligue 1 side Paris FC are reportedly interested in a deal.

Spurs currently sit 14th in the Premier League table and are out of both domestic cup competitions. Pressure is likely to ramp up on the Dane with tough fixtures to come.

He said: “First and foremost, I want to thank them for travelling and supporting the team throughout the the game, which they do.

“I’m sure they can recognise and acknowledge, especially the first half, the improvement there. We could and should have been out of sight.

“But also they acknowledge the willpower and character of the team that keep running, keep fighting to the end. We just need to keep going. We do so many things right, but there’s no doubt, it’s not dropping so easy for us.”
