Thomas Frank has held talks with Tottenham Hotspur about replacing Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham could sack Postecoglou despite him winning the club their first trophy in 17 years following what was a dismal Premier League campaign.
A decision over Postecoglou’s future is expected to arrive this week and Frank is one of the leading contenders to take the job if he is relieved of his duties.
Reports suggest that during talks with Spurs, Frank discussed transfer plans with the North London club and one of their top targets may interest him a lot.
Tottenham enter intense negotiations to sign Mathys Tel
Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign Mathys Tel and are locked in intense negotiations with Bayern Munich to sign him, according to Florian Plettenberg. Tottenham view Tel as a ‘generational talent’ and are desperate to keep hold of him.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has been talking to Spurs and Tel for weeks about a potential deal with the German club ready to sell him.
A new type of deal is being discussed with another loan with an obligation to buy, however, Bayern prefer a permanent sale.
Last week, TBR Football revealed that Tottenham are delighted with Tel and were eager to make the move permanent, as is the Frenchman.
The 20-year-old is now well settled in London and Champions League football has only added to his desire to remain at Spurs.
The issue is that Tottenham are unwilling to pay the £50m fee which was initially agreed on between the two clubs and are hoping to get him for around £33.5m plus potential performance-related add-ons.
Mathys Tel could be amazing at Tottenham under Thomas Frank
If Thomas Frank were to arrive in North London to replace Postecoglou, it could be great news for Tel, given the Dane’s impressive track record at improving attackers.
The Bayern Munich forward struggled to adapt to Postecoglou’s system and rarely found himself starting under the Australian.
But, it was clear that Tel is certainly a talent and if profiled correctly by the manager in his team, he could explode into life.
Frank has done a remarkable job improving the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Yoane Wissa and now Kevin Schade.
The 51-year-old keeps managing to get the best out of his attacking options, and given Tel’s huge potential, he could be just the man to help him succeed in N17.
