Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is enjoying the present situation at Tottenham.

A fan favourite among Gunners supporters, Frimpong could not resist taking a swipe at their local rivals.

Spurs have sacked coach Antonio Conte and seen sporting director Fabio Paratici banned from working in football.

“I think he [Conte] was begging to be sacked, he has just decided he had had enough," Frimpong told Casino Bonus CA.

"Let's not forget, Conte is not stupid and he knows exactly what he is doing.

“To attack the club and to attack the owner in the manner that he did made it inevitable he was going to get sacked. It's good to see Tottenham is in a crisis because they've been finishing above Arsenal recently and it had started to annoy me!

“Long may it continue, if Daniel Levy then resigns as well I can see Tottenham crumbling and Arsenal taking full control. They've been playing in the Champions League and they have this lovely stadium which, as an Arsenal fan, I'm quite jealous of.

"So it's good to see everything crumbling down, in typical Tottenham fashion. I just don't like Tottenham at all man!"
