phloveTottenham are coming off their first North London Derby of the season, as the Spurs beat Arsenal 1-0 in their preseason friendly.
49jiliThe club has been facing pressing questions ahead of Thomas Frank's first season.
slotvipOne of the biggest questions: Who will get the captain's armband this season?
After the club's win, Frank was asked about the captaincy, and he said, 'Yeah, that is to be confirmed. I haven't taken the decision yet. I'd like to understand the group of players a little bit more.
'I know I need to make a decision before the first official game against PSG in the Super Cup, so I will do that. It's natural that both [Cristian] Romero and Son [Heung-min] are captains, so we kept it likewise.'
Tottenham take on PSG on August 13, giving Frank around two weeks to make his decision.

Who should Tottenham's captain be?
Son has been captain of Tottenham since the start of the 2023/24 season, but he has been linked with a move away, with LAFC lurking for the forward.
Romero had previously been linked with a move away, but the Argentinian seems to be staying with the London club.
Romero stepped up against Arsenal, with the center back leading the defensive line well, and taking the captain's armband as Son started on the bench.
Romero has shown the leadership he possesses, which was especially evident as he helped to keep a clean sheet against Arsenal.
The Argentinian has really stepped up, which has helped him to make a claim for the role of captain.
