Tottenham have been linked with Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa, with Thomas Frank turning to his former club.
Injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar has assessed the 28-year-old’s fitness record ahead of a potential move this summer.
Frank has already roped in a few coaches from the West London club but may also sign one of their players.
Wissa has excelled at the G-Tech Community Stadium, bagging 45 goals in 137 Premier League appearances for them.
Wissa not expected to face issues clearing Spurs medical
Despite his ankle injury last season, the Congo international is not expected to have any issues with his medical, according to Dr Brar.

Tottenham hold a long-standing interest in Wissa as they were keen on him in January as well.
Discussing the state of play with Wissa exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
“He had an ankle injury last season, but it was minor as he missed only three games,” he said.
“Apart from that, he featured in the remaining 35 league games and recovered pretty well from that setback.
“Wissa should have no issues clearing his medical or adapting to Spurs as he’s got decent Premier League experience under his belt, so he understands the league and its demands.”
Frank can get the best out of Wissa at Tottenham
Frank can maximise Wissa’s potential at Tottenham by leveraging his tactical flexibility and understanding of his versatile skill set.
At Brentford, Frank transformed the Congo international into a dynamic, hybrid attacker, utilising his pace and power in a fluid 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system.
Spurs must sign Wissa due to their need for a proven, adaptable forward to bolster their attack after a 17th-place finish.
His prior success under Frank, familiarity with his high-pressing system, and £40million valuation make him a cost-effective, high-impact addition to challenge for a top-four finish.
