THOMAS FRANK appears to want to add long throws to Tottenham’s armoury this season.
The Dane is a big believer in the benefits of set-piece specialisms having had great success in that area at previous club Brentford.
Thomas Frank appears to want to add long throws to Tottenham’s tactics – with eagle eyed fans spotting something in the background of Udogie’s video
He has already hired a coach who will have a heavy focus in that area in former Arsenal and Manchester United staff-member Andreas Georgson.
And now defender Destiny Udogie seems to have let slip a particular demand for long throw-ins thanks to some footage he has posted on social media.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed a screen displaying the day’s training schedule in the background of the Italian’s Snapchat video.
Under the training section, there are five bullet points – the last of which reads “long throw audition”.
Brentford scored 14 of their 66 Premier League goals last term from set-pieces.
Their specialist coach in that department was Keith Andrews, who ended up succeeding Frank as head coach after the Dane left for Spurs.
Only Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest (all 17), Aston Villa (16), Brighton and Everton (both 15) netted more.
The Bees were also better than any other side at shipping goals from set-pieces.

Brentford conceded just three – which was three better than the next-best Manchester City.
Frank also had the West Londoners focused on making fast starts from kick-offs.
As a result, Brentford remarkably netted goals inside the first minute in three successive games in September, against Man City, Tottenham and West Ham.
