Thomas Frank preview's Tottenham's match against Brighton and was full of praise for Cristian Romero. He also spoke about Dominic Solanke's fitness and whether Destiny Udogie will play more soon. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Solanke is back training, been back for three or four days. He’s progressing slowly. Too early for Doncaster and Brighton. 0:38 Time at Spurs has gone so fast. Things are constantly happening. The club is in a good place. 1:33 I start looking at the league table in April. Trying to focus on ourselves not anyone else. 2:47 I rate Cristian Romero super high. He is one of the best centre backs in the world. He is a more mature player now. 4:32 I think Romero is a great character, he loves his football. He loves the game. 5:31 Lucas Bergvall had a good season last year. He came back from his ankle injury and now he is going from strength to strength. He has that extra confidence. 7:17 Fabian Huerzeler has clearly done something right. He’s young and learning every day but he’s clearly doing well. 8:25 We have four good full backs, Udogie, Porro and Spence are a bit ahead of Davies. Spence has lifted his level massively. 9:39 Udogie’s left foot is very important but Spence gives us something else. 10:24 Andreas Georgeson I have known since Brentford and he adds a lot to the coaching team. He is mainly here for set pieces. 11:29 Xavi Simons can play both left wing and number 10. We have a completely new front four, right now our strongest part of the team is the defence. 13:13 Archie Gray mainly played defence last season, I like flexible players. He gives us more squad depth. I see him as a midfielder though. He needs a run of games. 14:57 I have not decided my leadership group. 15:12 Takai is very close to training with the group. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
