Tottenham Hotspur and several Premier League rivals are on high alert amid news that a highly-rated manager could be available this summer.
Thomas Frank is a man under pressure at Tottenham Hotspur, as his early strong start has since unravelled, with results failing to go his way in recent months.
The Spurs manager has managed just two wins from his last nine Premier League outings and has the club sitting in 11th place in the table.
He maintains the backing of sections of the Tottenham board, who are currently choosing to remain patient with the Dane instead of pulling the trigger and relieving him of his duties.
Oliver Glasner set for Crystal Palace exit in the summer
Thomas Frank signed a three-year deal at Tottenham, but he could be dismissed well before that expires following the latest development across London.
According to Cadena SER, it is understood that Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner will become a free agent in the summer, as he has no intention of renewing his contract beyond the end of the current campaign.
Glasner’s name was on the shortlist at Tottenham earlier this year as the club sought a replacement for former manager Ange Postecoglou, and should he become a free agent amid Frank’s struggles, Spurs could be tempted to make a move for him.

However, the Austrian is set to command interest from several Premier League clubs given his exploits at Selhurst Park, where he won an FA Cup and has the team sitting in fifth place.
Spurs set to face stiff competition for Oliver Glasner
The manager could be a good fit at Spurs, as he has shown he can punch well above his weight with limited financial backing.
However, it is claimed that Manchester United and Chelsea could also be in the running for the 51-year-old should they part ways with their current managers.
Frank is walking a tightrope, and if results do not improve in the coming weeks, he could be dismissed from Tottenham before Glasner is even available.
