Thomas Frank could see another Tottenham player leaving in the January transfer window.
With Spurs currently in 14th place in the Premier League, Frank wants the board to bring in new players to give his side the best chance of competing for Europe.
Tottenham are still in the Champions League, but their chances of winning Europe’s elite club competition are slim, to say the least.

Championship and League One clubs enter race for Tottenham defender
While it is important to sign players, showing some the door, either on loan or permanently, is just as crucial for the Lilywhites.
Frank undoubtedly will have some say on the transfer happenings at the club, but longer-term decisions may be made by the hierarchy.

The 20-year-old made just six league appearances for the Scottish club and three of those were off the bench.
That undoubtedly was not sufficient for Spurs, and they decided that it was better for him to continue his development elsewhere.
According to Football London, clubs in the Championship and League One are keen on signing the centre-back in January.
What has Ange Postecoglou said about Alfie Dorrington?
Ange Postecoglou, during his time as Tottenham manager, was impressed with Dorrington.
The Australian was known to keep tabs on the Under-21s, and the English defender is one who stood out for him.
He said back in 2023: “With the young guys like Jamie, he’s been doing really well with the Under-21s consistently. Jamie and Alfie Dorrington have really stood out and that’s why they’ve been training with us.
“They’ve got to keep working and it doesn’t mean they’re ahead in the pecking order of people like Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett, who are out on loan.
“I’ve been really pleased with Jamie and Alfie though, they’ve been working well.”
Dorrington did go on loan to Aberdeen last season as well, in the January transfer window, and there he impressed manager Jimmy Thelin.
Speaking highly of the youngster, Thelin said: “It’s a new environment for Alfie and a new context. It’s also new teammates and a different style of how we play and even how we train.
“He has adapted really well and taken on that responsibility.
“Alfie has adapted to the league and our style. He has been really good in the last games.”
