Thomas Frank is being linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer to replace Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham remains in doubt, with Daniel Levy considering whether or not he should sack the Australian manager.
Despite winning them their first major in 17 years, Spurs could yet sack Ange Postecoglou due to the team’s 17th-place finish in the Premier League.
Tottenham have been considering replacements since January, as revealed by TBR Football, and one of the leading contenders is Brentford’s Thomas Frank.
Why Tottenham really like Thomas Frank
Frank is a manager whom Tottenham Hotspur strongly admire and it is believed that the Dane is a leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou, according to the Telegraph.
The 51-year-old has done an impressive job across the capital with Brentford, having turned them into a solid Premier League club
Frank took charge of the Bees whilst they were in the Championship and guided them into the top flight after just three seasons with the club.
His work in West London has now caught the eye of Spurs and Brentford could face a tricky test to fight off interest from the Champions League club.
It is believed that Frank’s ability to work with young players and develop them into top Premier League players is something which has impressed Levy and the Spurs board.
The Danish manager has helped improve players like Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins during his time with the Bees.
The North London club have a young squad themselves and a transfer model which is somewhat reliant on uncovering gems and turning them into superstars. Therefore, Frank could be just the right man for Tottenham.
Thomas Frank should bring Bryan Mbeumo to Tottenham
Should Tottenham decide to sack Postecoglou and appoint Frank, one of his first moves as manager should be to sign Mbeumo.
The Cameroonian international has been one of his most impressive players during his time at Brentford, and he looks set to leave the G-Tech Community Stadium this summer.
Arsenal are linked with Mbeumo, however, their North London rivals should be looking to intervene and bring him to N17 instead.
The 25-year-old was really impressive under Frank this season as he netted 20 Premier League goals for the first time in his career.
