Jamie O’Hara has spoken about the impending arrival of Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur, and the pundit is desperate for Daniel Levy to deliver the main target that the Dane reportedly wants at Spurs.

Although an announcement from Spurs regarding their new head coach is yet to arrive, it appears an open secret that Frank is set to replace Ange Postecoglou at the helm.

It is fair to say that some initial scepticism from Tottenham Hotspur fans has now turned to excitement about what the Dane can potentially achieve, but the supporters will want to see Daniel Levy back his new head coach in the transfer window.

According to reports, Frank has asked Spurs to beat Man United to the signature of Bryan Mbeumo, who is expected to cost £60m.

However, some outlets have said that Tottenham are extremely unlikely to hijack the Mbeumo deal, even with Frank at the helm.

Jamie O’Hara believes Bryan Mbeumo would be a major coup for Tottenham

O’Hara has now admitted that he is very excited for the Brentford boss’s arrival at N17 and he is hoping to see the Lilywhites poach the Bees’ best players.

The former Spurs midfielder is especially keen to see Mbeumo at N17, opining that the Cameroon international would be a great addition to Tottenham.

The pundit told talkSPORT: “I’m excited (about Frank). I think if he comes in and does a good job, he can nick a couple of players from Brentford. I’d take Mbeumo all day. I know he has said that he wants to go to Manchester United.

“But, that deal is not done yet. Maybe he has got on the phone with Thomas Frank, and maybe we can nick him. That would be a great signing.”

Thomas Frank may not raid Brentford for any players

However, a report on Tuesday from Football Insider contradicted what we have heard from other sources over recent days by claiming that Frank has no immediate plans to raid Brentford for any of their players.

The report asserted that Brentford may seek assurances from Spurs about not poaching their players should the North Londoners decide to haggle over Frank’s £10m buyout figure.
