And in a week where Tottenham look set to miss out on the signing of Ebere Eze to Arsenal, Frank says his side’s performance and win showed they have already had a strong transfer window regardless of what else happens.

“It’s fair to say we got a few questions about the transfer market yesterday, a lot about why not and what if and all that,” he said.

“But what is 100% sure is we brought two top players into the club in Kudus and Palhinha. Both have performed very well which I’m very pleased with.

“Palhinha… wow. I actually don’t think he’s fully fit yet for where I want him to be but very pleased with his performance and he’s definitely helping the team.

“We have a good group of players, a talented group of players, a group of good quality players that I’m very pleased with.

“We brought in two good players to help. Can we improve it? Perfect. If we can’t then we have very good players, we’ve just shown that today.”
