According to reports, Tottenham Hotspurโs players are already โboredโ with head coach Thomas Frank, while club chiefs have been sent a transfer demand.
Former Brentford boss Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou at Spurs ahead of this season and heโs had a mixed start at the Premier League club.
Frank has made Spurs far more solid and their results in the Premier League have drastically improved, but they have had a really poor couple of days.
In midweek, Spurs crashed out of the Carabao Cup by losing 2-0 to Newcastle United, while they suffered a 1-0 loss against London rivals Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Tottenham were fortunate to only lose 1-0 against Chelsea, who were far the better side and could have easily scored a few more goals.
After the match, there was an awkward exchange between Frank and two of his players, with it seeming that the pressure is building on the head coach.
Spurs are currently fourth in the Premier League table, but Frank may be fighting a losing battle at the north London outfit as he reportedly does not have the backing of his players.
A report from a respected account on X with a โteam of five elite reportersโ claims the squad is โboredโ with Frank, while they are โdesperateโ for January signings.
They tweeted: Exclusive: According to close source to Spurs players: โ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ. ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ. ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ฒโ.

Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven were the p;ayers who appeared to snub Frank and Alan Shearer has since commented on this exchange, with Spurs an โembarrassmentโ against Chelsea.
โThey [Tottenham] were an embarrassment. They have been booed off the pitch,โ Shearer said on BBCโs Match of the Day.
โI get they want to go out, they want to get off the pitch and they want to get in the dressing room and then say their sorries [apologies] later on.
โI get it and understand it. As much as Thomas Frank likes to go around and thank fans and clap them, I get the playersโ point-of-view that theyโve been absolutely awful and they want to get off the pitch as quick as possible.โ
Former Premier League centre-back Ashley Williams added:ย โI donโt think itโsโฆ [a big issue]. Just play better, thatโs the main thing.
โYouโve played badly in a derby. You want to get back in the dressing room. Theyโre frustrated. Thatโs nothing to do or anything personal against the manager, or the fans. They just want to get inside.โ
