Thomas Frank replacing Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham could open up many a door for Spurs in terms of transfers.
Tottenham have already been linked to Bryan Mbeumo as they close in on appointing the Dane, who helped the Cameroon international score 20 Premier League goals last season.
Some already at Spurs may also thrive, as Frank has previously praised Richarlison whilst at Brentford.
There was also a player Ian Wright backed to end up at Tottenham even before Thomas Frank moved into the frame to replace Ange Postecoglou in Mikkel Damsgaard, somebody who could quite feasibly join the 51-year-old in N17.
Ian Wright tipped Mikkel Damsgaard to end up at Tottenham, and here’s why he could be spot on
Speaking on his Wrighty’s House Podcast back in October, Wright said he could see Damsgaard joining Tottenham soon.
The 61-year-old claimed: “You know who I’m going to go with, Damsgaard at Brentford. That five-year deal he signed is starting to look really good now.
“I remember he scored that freekick against England, and at the time I think Barcelona were all over him, the two Milan teams were all over him, Spurs. Yeah, with the form he has now, you could see him (going) somewhere like Spurs.”
Tottenham almost signed Damsgaard from Sampdoria after his electric displays at UEFA EURO 2020 – according to Fabrizio Romano – but it was Brentford who eventually secured his signature, sealing a £13m agreement in August 2022.
Given the fact Spurs are long-term admirers of the Denmark international, and the man who signed him for Brentford is now close to becoming manager of Tottenham, this is definitely a deal we can see materialising soon, either this summer or in 2026.
Thomas Frank managed to turn Mikkel Damsgaard into one of the best creators in the Premier League
It took Damsgaard – who has been likened to Kevin De Bruyne – some time to adjust to English football.
The 24-year-old’s first 54 appearances under Frank yielded just four assists and not a single goal.
However, the Brentford No.24 impressively scored two goals and provided 11 assists in 38 Premier League appearances last season, making 34 starts as the Bees finished tenth.
Only Jacob Murphy and Mohamed Salah assisted more goals in the Premier League last term with 12 and 18 assists respectively.
Therefore, Damsgaard is clearly on an upward trajectory, and with Tottenham already firm admirers of his talent, it wouldn’t be a surprise whatsoever to see Frank take his fellow countryman to north London with him.
