Tottenham’s next manager could arrive with two familiar faces, as Thomas Frank eyes a north London rebuild featuring key Brentford players.
Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to sealing the deal on their 16th manager in the last 24 years, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
Talks continue to take place between Spurs and their preferred managerial option, Thomas Frank, with reports stating that talks between Frank and Tottenham are almost finalised.
Spurs fans could expect an announcement on a new manager sometime this week, as Tottenham Hotspur edge closer to landing Brentford’s Thomas Frank.
Thomas Frank wants Bryan Mbeumo and Nathan Collins at Tottenham
Indeed, should Frank be appointed the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, he is expected to get to work right off the bat, as Spurs look to begin preparations for the 2025/26 season.
A pre-season tour to Asia has already been announced, with friendlies against Arsenal in Hong Kong, Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena, and a UEFA Super Cup final expected to be a few of the fixtures on the horizon for the Dane.
He is also expected to be busy with transfers, and now a new report from the Hounslow Herald has stated that Thomas Frank’s £10 million release clause is expected to be met by Spurs, and that the 51-year-old also wants to bring Bryan Mbeumo and Nathan Collins with him to north London.

Spurs could benefit from signing Bryan Mbeumo and Nathan Collins
Of course, the acquisition of those two players would be a smart piece of business for Tottenham, who need to bolster both their attack and defence ahead of next season.
Mbeumo, for one, just grabbed 20 league goals last season from 38 matches, with the highest return from a Tottenham player being 11 goals from Brennan Johnson.
Adding Mbeumo to their attack would bring a serious injection of quality, and so would bringing in a defender, especially as Tottenham could also lose Cristian Romero, whose future remains uncertain.
