A Tottenham Hotspur star has threatened to quit the club due to 'unfair treatment' from manager Thomas Frank.

Frank has endured a nightmare start to his life at Tottenham domestically, sitting 14th in the Premier League and being knocked out of both the FA and Carabao Cup.

However, the Danish coach has found success in Europe, with victory over Eintracht Frankfurt guiding them to a top eight finish in the Champions League.

The result means Spurs will avoid a play-off and head straight into the round of 16 of the Champions League, with the draw now confirmed.

Despite their last result bringing new waves of optimism for Frank, Sky Sports Germany have claimed that forward Mathys Tel will look to quit the club if Frank is not sacked.

The report claims that Tel as grown frustrated with his lack of playing time, and feels Frank has treated him 'unfairly', with his absence from Wednesday's UCL squad the final straw.

Both Tel and Spurs' representatives are believed to have met in London following his exclusion, with Tel demanding answers before Monday's transfer deadline.

Sky's sources have claimed that Tel has received an offer from the French Ligue 1 side Paris FC with contact also made from clubs in England and Spain.

Frank sends message to Spurs fans

Following Spurs' last gasp draw against Burnley, Frank insisted that his side are on the right trajectory to succeed despite poor domestic form.

“The message to the fans, as I said the whole time, is that we’re working very hard on making sure everything is going in the right direction and that we’ll keep doing that,” Frank said via The Guardian.

“First and foremost, I want to thank them for travelling and supporting the team throughout the game. We could, 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.”

“There’s no denying that we need to now turn draws into wins and today, for being so close, you’d hope that would have been the case. We just fell a little bit short," he added.
