Brentford manager Thomas Frank has delivered a stern warning to Arsenal ahead of the highly anticipated North London Derby, highlighting Tottenham captain Son Heung-min's red-hot form as a major threat.
Speaking after his side's pre-season friendly in Hong Kong, Frank lauded the South Korean forward, who has been in scintillating form for Spurs. "Son is one of the most dangerous players in the league," Frank stated. "His movement, finishing, and leadership make him a nightmare for defenders."
Arsenal's Defensive Concerns
The Gunners, who are looking to bounce back from last season's title disappointment, will need to be at their best defensively to contain Son. Frank's comments serve as a timely reminder of the quality Arsenal will face when they take on their bitter rivals.
Key Battles to Watch
- Son vs. Arsenal's Full-Backs: The Tottenham captain's ability to cut inside and unleash powerful shots could exploit any defensive lapses.
- Midfield Control: Both teams boast creative midfielders, but Spurs' high press could disrupt Arsenal's rhythm.
- Set-Piece Threat: With towering defenders on both sides, dead-ball situations could prove decisive.
Frank's warning adds extra spice to an already fiery encounter, with both teams eager to claim early bragging rights in the Premier League season.
