Thomas Frank may already be at loggerheads with Daniel Levy this summer transfer window after only recently being appointed Tottenham manager.
Tottenham appointed the ex-Brentford boss to succeed Ange Postecoglou after the Australian manager endured a difficult domestic campaign.
Spurs have now made a decision on Mathys Tel, which may leave the new head coach and the chairman in disagreement over their recruitment policy.
Manor Solomon to leave Tottenham after Tel transfer agreement
Tottenham are set to reach an agreement with Bayern Munich for Tel’s permanent transfer, according to Florian Plettenberg.
The Sky Sports journalist revealed on X (14 June) that the French youngster is on the verge of joining the Lilywhites after spending half a season on loan.

It’s been claimed that the North London outfit will pay a little over £29million to sign the 20-year-old on a long-term contract from the Bundesliga giants.
Frank wants to keep the centre-forward at Tottenham, but that may lead to other players having to leave in the coming weeks.
Levy could potentially have Manor Solomon on the chopping block despite the Danish manager liking what he’s seen from him in training.
The former Leeds United loanee is expected to start pre-season with the North London outfit and be part of the North London outfit’s squad next season.
With Tel staying, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Levy go against those plans and cash in on Solomon, despite Frank wanting him.
Tel transfer will lead to Solomon transfer request at Spurs
Tottenham have a dilemma on their hand with Solomon, and it would make sense to sell him in the coming weeks while his stock is high.
If the forward stays at the North London outfit, there’s a chance he won’t be given enough opportunities to play, which will undoubtedly lead to a drop in his value.
With Tel and Son Heung-min playing on the left wing, there seems to be no chance for the ex-Leeds loanee to secure his place in the starting lineup.
Tottenham should make more signings this summer to bolster their squad, and they will need to sanction a few exits to have enough funds for a major squad overhaul.
The North London outfit should look to sign a new quality centre-forward after Dominic Solanke’s rather disappointing season.
Richarlison may also be on his way out after struggling with injuries, but a reliable number nine won’t come cheap.
