Ange Postecoglou’s third season with Tottenham doesn’t even look like it will reach the airwaves, with the Aussie boss reportedly on the brink of being sacked by Spurs. Thomas Frank is said to have been targeted as Postecoglou’s replacement, with the Danish manager having impressed during his stint with fellow Premier League outfit Brentford.
Having established the Bees as top-flight regulars following their promotion in 2021, Frank will have the chance to test himself in the Champions League, should a move to Tottenham transpire. Ahead of Frank’s potential Spurs appointment, Express Sport have detailed four players the tactician could sign this summer.

Kevin Schade
Starting off close to home and one of the best performers for Frank at Brentford, Kevin Schade. The 23-year-old has impressed for Brentford, specifically excelling with his ball carrying and athleticism, as well as an ability to play several different positions in midfield and attack. While he’s under contract at Brentford until 2028, it’s unlikely a mammoth offer will need to be tabled in order for the west Londoners to turn their head.

Morten Hjulmand
Spurs have been accused of having a soft underbelly in midfield this season and have often lost control of matches in the middle of the park. That would change with the signing of Morten Hjulmand, who has dazzled for Portuguese outfit Sporting and has plenty of the qualities Tottenham are currently lacking. Capable of breaking up play, picking out a pass and even scoring from range, he’d be a welcome addition to Frank’s prospective Tottenham squad. Plus, there’s a Danish link too, with Hjulmand having played 15 times for the national side.
Christian Eriksen
Speaking of Danes, a return to Spurs for Christian Eriksen, anybody? He’s about to leave Manchester United as a free agent and while it goes without saying Eriksen wouldn’t be signed as a starting option, he could add a touch of much-needed experience to a relatively young Spurs dressing room. Plus, there’s the boost of a former fans’ favourite returning to the club - something Frank might need, given he’d be replacing Tottenham’s first trophy-winning manager since 2008.

Eberechi Eze
And then finally, Eberechi Eze. The scintillating forward dazzled for Crystal Palace en route to their FA Cup triumph this season, but Eze has since hinted he’d like to consistently challenge for trophies and “win everything”. While “everything” might be a little out of reach at Spurs, it’s certainly a step up from mid-table Palace, especially considering the north Londoners have now ended their trophy drought.
