Frank's Jokes Target Eze, Raya and Norgaard in Derby Build-Up

The remarks revive the summer storyline that saw Arsenal beat Tottenham to Eberechi Eze.

Overview

  • Asked about summer interest in Eberechi Eze, Thomas Frank quipped “Who’s Eze?” before calling him a very good player for Arsenal in his pre‑match press conference.
  • Frank jokingly labeled David Raya and Christian Norgaard “traitors,” referencing their Brentford ties before choosing Arsenal.
  • Reports from the summer window said Tottenham were close to signing Eze before Arsenal completed the deal late.
