'If players don't want to wear this fantastic badge, we don't want them here'

FRANK'S DIG AT EZE AFTER SPURS SNUB

- 

THOMAS FRANK aimed a thinly veiled dig at Eberechi Eze by claiming he does not want players who don't want to play for Spurs.

Tottenham suffered embarrassment when rivals Arsenal beat them to the signing of Crystal Palace star Eze at the 11th hour on Wednesday night.

Injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski (inset) had increased the need for the club to find a new playmaker.

And after missing out on Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White in July, Spurs were again left red-faced when boyhood Arsenal fan Eze decided to return to the club that rejected him as a 13-year-old.

Spurs boss Frank said: "There has been a lot of links, there will be a lot of links in the future and just to generalise that, to make it very, very clear, I don't want any players that don't want to come to the club.
