Tottenham Hotspur could still opt to replace Ange Postecoglou in the coming weeks despite Europa League success, Ben Jacobs has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT - and Brentford boss Thomas Frank is emerging as a contender to come into the north London throne should the Australian gaffer depart.

Tottenham's poor domestic campaign has seen Postecoglou come under serious pressure in his job, with 22 losses in just 38 games in the Premier League marking their worst-ever campaign in the competition. Success elsewhere has saved his skin for now, but Brentford boss Frank has become an option and the cost of his contract has also been revealed.

Jacobs: Frank 'Emerging as Contender' for Tottenham Job

A hefty release clause could rule Tottenham out of the move, however

GIVEMESPORT's senior football correspondent, Ben Jacobs, exclusively wrote that Tottenham are unlikely to make an announcement on Postecoglou's future before he goes on holiday after the end of the season.

However, Frank is emerging as a contender to replace the Australian gaffer if Daniel Levy does decide to make an alteration to their managerial ranks, and that could throw a spanner into the works for Brentford who are hoping to keep their gaffer after yet another top-half Premier League finish this season.

Levy is still deciding whether to part ways with Postecoglou, despite the former Celtic boss winning Spurs' first trophy in 17 years via the Europa League last week - ending their silverware drought, though a 17th-placed finish in the Premier League has somewhat nullified their efforts on the continental scene.

Frank's release clause in his Brentford contract stands at around £9million, which would be one of the highest release clauses for a manager in history if it was to be activated - and a major reason for the club liking him is his long-standing relationship with Tottenham technical director, Johan Lange.

Their returning consultant, Fabio Paratici, may also have an influence over Postecoglou's future, though any potential candidates to replace him are unknown on the Italian's behalf if they wish to make a change.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Thomas Frank has won 132 of his 317 games in charge of Brentford.

With Frank having excelled in west London for the past seven seasons, marking Brentford's first four-year stretch in the top-flight in over 90 years, it's clear that he'd be a suitable candidate in European football across the capital.

Lionel Messi said that he and Cristiano Ronaldo "fueled each other" because both were "very competitive", and that's an understatement. The fact that not one, but two, footballing greats graced the sport simultaneously, at the peak of their powers, in the same league was just unimaginable.

Yet, here they were duelling for dominance in Spain and Europe on the club front at the height of the El Clasico rivalry. You can imagine Irving Berlin and Ethel Merman's "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" playing in the background of highlights of their meeting in October 2012, when Barca and Madrid settled on a 2-2 draw.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a 22nd-minute left-footed strike at Victor Valdes' near post before Messi said 'I can do anything better than you' and equalised with a poacher's instinct in the 30th minute.

Messi was at his genius best on the hour mark, saying 'sooner than not I'm better than you', curling a sumptuous free-kick past Iker Casillas. But, cometh the hour, cometh Ronaldo, telling his nemesis 'no you're not', slotting home a 65th-minute equaliser.

That was just one of the many times the long-time Ballon d'Or foes went to war in La Liga, and it's fair to say Spanish football hasn't quite been the same without them. The debate over who is superior will never end, and while Glenn Hoddle is a fan of both, he doesn't think they are simply the best.

Glenn Hoddle On "Phenomenon" Better Than Ronaldo And Messi

"It was fabulous to play with him"

The picture of Messi lifting the World Cup high above his head while on Sergio Aguero's shoulders in Qatar is embedded in every football fan's memory box. Perhaps, too, is the image of Ronaldo holding the Champions League trophy while gesturing five with his hand.

Pele was the trendsetter of such pieces of art when, similarly to Messi, he held the World Cup trophy aloft in Mexico in 1970. When one thinks of Diego Maradona, they think of "the Hand of God", and England fans will never be able to escape it.

The legendary Argentine was such a sensational talent that even while bending the rules, he did it in style. But four minutes later, he was netting "the Goal of the Century", taking off on a sixty-yard run, tricking his way past Peter Beardsley, Peter Reid, Terry Butcher and Terry Fenwick before feinting past goalkeeper Peter Shilton and tucking home his second.

"It was the rascal in him that did that. Then the second goal was out of this world. In many ways that summed up Diego. The first with the rascal and then the genius with that goal" - Glenn Hoddle (via Mail Sport).

Maradona captained Argentina to World Cup glory at the age of 25 in 1986 with one of many performances that put him in a league of his own. When El Pibe de Oro got on the ball, magic happened, dazzling with his dribbling, showing off in an era when nobody could come close to him.

"For me, he was the best player on the planet at the time and the best I have ever seen - even better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi." - Hoddle (via Standard Sport).

Maradona's talent was obvious when he arrived in Europe with Barcelona in 1982, but it was at Napoli that his star shone brightest. He starred in two Serie A title-winning seasons alongside battling the best on the international front, including Hoddle, who played defensive midfield for England in that famous 1986 World Cup quarter-final in Mexico City.

Football fans always ask how the late Argentine hero would have fared in the modern era. Hoddle thinks he'd have had no problem:

"What he could do on these pitches now would be phenomenal, and with the rules as well. So yeah, it has got to be Maradona (the best of all-time)."

GIVEMESPORT Key Achievement: Diego Maradona was named FIFA Player of the Century in 1995.

The only time Hoddle played alongside Maradona was in his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Ossie Ardiles' testimonial in 1986. They were part of a star-studded midfield that also included Chris Waddle and Ardiles.

"That night at White Hart Lane for Ossie's testimonial, it was fabulous to play with him. As soon as we got on the pitch, we just gelled. It was an incredible evening and I loved every minute of it."

Maradona passed away on October 30, 1960, after suffering a heart attack. The football world collectively mourned the loss of a cornerstone of the sport whose legacy will never die, and fans were gifted Messi's 2022 World Cup heroics, which seemed to be passed down from the hand of Argentina's God.

Spurs Were In For Maradona

"There was a possibility of bringing Diego to the club"

Maradona at the lane was nearly a regular occurrence in the mid-nineties when Ardiles tried bringing his compatriot to North London. After retiring, the Spurs hero, who scored 25 goals in 311 appearances for the club, moved into management and took charge of the Lilywhites in 1993.

Ardiles' former international teammate was weighing up his future after leaving Sevilla amid issues with the Spanish club. There was a chance of him arriving in the Premier League but off-the-field problems took hold:

"Yes. As a manger [of Tottenham] there was a possibility of bringing Diego to the club, yes. But Diego, at the time, was in a very bad state himself." Ardiles told MailSport.

He added:

"In 1992 he went to Sevilla in Spain but before he had serious problems in Italy at Napoli with so many people. At the end of the day I imagined him coming here, to England, and because of his history, I put everything into balance and I thought it would be far too much for Diego.'?"

Ardiles said Maradona "would have loved to have come and play here at Tottenham", but English fans sadly never got to see him in the top-flight. A move to White Hart Lane may not have been his first choice, as he had revealed his long-term admiration for Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

After a turbulent Premier League season that saw Tottenham Hotspur finish just outside the relegation zone in the Premier League, the north London club's Europa League triumph has secured a spot in next season's Champions League.

As manager Ange Postecoglou prepares for the challenges ahead, bolstering the attacking lineup becomes imperative. While Dominic Solanke was brought in last summer for a substantial fee of £55m, potentially rising to £65m, Spurs might be looking to add a little more firepower.

Solanke's first season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yielded 16 goals and eight assists in 45 appearances, which might not be enough for a side looking to compete in the Champions League.

Tottenham Should Sign Sesko as Solanke Upgrade

They need more firepower for the Champions League

Reports have suggested that RB Leipzig striker Sesko has been identified as a top target ahead of the summer transfer window. The Bundesliga star has shown he's capable of scoring regularly in the Champions League, something Postecoglou's side will need heading into next term.

In the Champions League this season, Sesko, described as 'incredible', struck four times in six starts for Leipzig. Solanke is a proven goalscorer at Premier League level, but he doesn't have the European credentials that Sesko has. The Slovenian forward is still only 21 years old, and there's an argument to suggest that he would be an upgrade on Solanke while also being yet to reach his full potential.

RB Leipzig failed to qualify for next season's Champions League, and reports suggest that a deal with Tottenham could advance, with Sesko wanting to play in Europe's elite club competition.

Tottenham Need Attacking Depth Regardless

Richarlison has struggled with injuries

Solanke is likely to remain at Spurs, considering he's only recently joined the club, but Tottenham could need further depth in attack regardless. Richarlison is one of few players who are comfortable in a centre-forward role at Tottenham, but he's only made four Premier League starts this season due to regular injuries.

Adding a player of Sesko's calibre could provide huge competition for Solanke. Postecoglou, if he remains in charge, will need to heavily rotate his side if they want to compete across all competitions next term, so being able to utilise Sesko or Solanke will be hugely beneficial.

Thomas Frank has appeared to shoot down any rumours over his future and a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur, according to Brentford fan and sports presenter Natalie Sawyer - with a cryptic text message between the two hinting that he will stay in west London.

Frank has had yet another stellar season in the capital, recording a second top-half finish from four full campaigns in the top-flight and coming close to Conference League qualification once again. With stars such as Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and more shining throughout the campaign, it's seen the Bees in a good light though that has led to speculation over Frank's future.

Natalie Sawyer Reveals Thomas Frank Brentford Text

The Bees boss has been an incredible servant and could continue his spell

The Dane has been linked with the Tottenham job after the north London outfit finished 17th in the league, seeing Ange Postecoglou come under serious pressure to keep his job, in which he has taken the pressure off by winning the Europa League trophy to end a 17-year wait for honours.

Stellar campaigns on one of the smallest wage budgets in the league, alongside progressing cheap stars into talents with huge transfer price tags such as Ollie Watkins, Ivan Toney, Mbeumo and David Raya amongst others, put him firmly in the conversation to join a bigger club and repeat that process on a larger fiscal scale.

But Sawyer, a lifelong Brentford fan, has revealed a series of texts between herself and the Danish gaffer - with the 51-year-old hinting that he could stay at the Gtech Community Stadium beyond next season despite links to replace Postecoglou in the off-season. Sawyer said, via talkSPORT:

"All I'm going to say is, I exchanged a little message with Thomas yesterday and this is what he said.

"I said, 'Well done on the season', because it has been a good season.

"He said, 'Enjoy the summer and soon we go again.'"

"Frank also put a bee emoji at the end of his message."

It's another blow for Tottenham after Marco Silva confirmed he would be staying at Fulham - but elsewhere in west London, Frank's record at Brentford makes him the most successful manager in their post-war history in terms of time spent at the top table - and rightly so, other clubs have been sniffing around his signature, seeing him labelled as 'exceptional' in the process.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Thomas Frank has won 132 of his 317 games in charge of Brentford.

A pragmatic style of play shows tactical flexibility, and although former Celtic boss Postecoglou won the Europa League, Frank's ability to approach games in a different tactical manner is impressive and could benefit Spurs if he was to make the move.

Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to make an announcement on boss Ange Postecoglou's future before he goes on holiday today, GMS understands.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank is emerging as a contender to replace the Greek-Australian tactician if a change is made, while Marco Silva publicly stated he will stay in the Fulham hot-seat following their 2-0 loss to Manchester City on the final day of the Premier League campaign.

Levy Still to Make Final Postecoglou Decision

Spurs ended season one place above Premier League drop zone

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is still deciding whether to part ways with Postecoglou after Spurs' Europa League final win over Manchester United last week, which secured Champions League football.

Frank has a release clause in his Brentford contract in the region of £9million. The Dane also has a long-standing relationship with the north Londoners' technical director Johan Lange. It is unclear how much influence consultant Fabio Paratici will have over Postecoglou’s future and any potential candidates to replace him should a change be made.

Tottenham's 4-1 loss at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday saw them finish just one place above the Premier League's relegation zone, having been defeated in 22 of their 38 Premier League games. No team had previously lost that many games and survived.

Now known to many as a well-respected pundit, Gary Lineker has been involved with football for well over four decades across every level. A striker, Lineker began his career with hometown club Leicester City, debuting in 1978 and spending seven years with the club, finishing as the top scorer of the First Division in his final season.

In 1985, Lineker’s form earned him a move to defending champions Everton, though Lineker would only spend one season at Goodison Park in which the Toffees finished second in the league. Lineker was on the move once more in 1986, joining Barcelona as Everton, cruelly, won the First Division again in their first season without the Englishman.

Lineker spent three years at Barcelona, winning the Cup Winners’ Cup and Copa del Rey. According to Transfermarkt, of the 11 English players who have featured for Barcelona, Lineker remains the most recent. In 1989, Lineker returned to England, joining Tottenham Hotspur and winning his only major trophy in England, the FA Cup, in 1991. Lineker moved to Japan the following year and retired in 1994.

Be it as a player or as a pundit since retirement, Lineker has seen some incredible players across his career. Back in 2023, speaking to The Mirror, Lineker named his ideal five-a-side team and in doing so, revealed which British players he had seen that he thought were the best ever.

‘The Two Best British Players’

Lineker full of praise for two legends

While putting together his five-a-side team, Lineker named himself, legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton and former Manchester United and Aston Villa defender Paul McGrath. To support him in attack, Lineker added Liverpool icon Kenny Dalglish and Gareth Bale, formerly of Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid, a winger often considered one of his generation’s best.

In discussing the pair, Lineker said:

"I'm going to pick Kenny Dalglish to play up front with me. Him and Gareth Bale, for me, are probably the two best British players in my lifetime. Dalglish was incredible. He was one of the reasons Ian Rush scored so many goals."

Starting his career as a left-back with Southampton, Bale’s career started to ascend after he was transitioned into a winger at Tottenham under Harry Redknapp. The Welshman’s form earned him a move to Real Madrid in 2013 for what was, at the time, a world-record transfer fee.

Bale would spend eight years in Spain, returning to Spurs on loan for the 2020/21 season, and in that time won numerous honours with Real. He won three La Liga titles but more impressively, five Champions Leagues. The winger, in 2018, scored one of the greatest Champions League final goals of all time against Liverpool. In 2023, after six months at Los Angeles FC, Bale retired at 33 years old.

Dalglish meanwhile, played for just two clubs across 21 years, debuting for Celtic in 1969. After eight years, the Scot moved south of the border to join Liverpool, where he spent the remaining 13 years of his career. As a player, under the guidance of first Bob Paisley, then Joe Fagan, Dalglish won three European Cups and five First Division titles. The forward played with some exceptional players at Anfield, such as the aforementioned Ian Rush.

In 1985, Dalglish became player-manager after Fagan retired. Spending five years in the role and six as Liverpool manager overall, Dalglish won three further league titles and two FA Cups. Dalglish would enjoy further success as a manager in the 1990s, but remains regarded as one of the best Liverpool players ever.

Lineker’s description of the pair is of course opinionated, but a statement that many would read and agree with, such was the quality of both Dalglish and Bale as players.

Tottenham Hotspur's number one managerial target, Marco Silva, has confirmed he won't be leaving Fulham this summer despite reports that he's a leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou.

A change in the dugout could still be possible at Tottenham, despite the north London club winning the Europa League earlier this week. It was a disappointing season for Spurs, who finished in 17th place in the Premier League.

GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed back in April that Postecoglou's job security wasn't resting on whether they would win the Europa League this season. There's still a chance that the Australian manager will be sacked, with their Premier League performances likely deemed unacceptable despite lifting a trophy in Europe.

Tottenham Manager Target Confirms he Won't Leave

A report from Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio previously confirmed that Fulham boss Silva was Tottenham's number one target to replace Postecoglou this summer. However, speaking after Fulham's final Premier League game of the season, Silva has confirmed that he won't be leaving the club heading into the 2025/2026 campaign...

"I will be here next season."

Journalist Ben Jacobs recently confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Silva was a 'leading candidate' to take over from Postecoglou if Spurs were to make a change in the dugout. Unfortunately for Tottenham, they've now been dealt a blow, and it's back to the drawing board if they are still considering sacking Postecoglou in the coming weeks or months.

Silva may still feel that he has unfinished business at Fulham after they failed to qualify for Europe this season. It looked as though the Cottagers had a strong chance of qualifying, but they ended the season in 11th. With further investment, there's no reason Fulham can't go on to finish in the top half and start pushing to battle with the other sides who are competing to qualify for European competitions.

Southampton starlet Tyler Dibling is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sami Mokbel of the BBC.

Domestically, it has been a dire season for Spurs. Having exited both domestic cups before the finals, Tottenham were entirely reliant on their Europa League campaign as, in the Premier League, the Lilywhites have lost 21 of their 37 matches played so far, a run of form that has seen Ange Postecoglou come under pressure across the campaign.

On the continent, Spurs have played like a different team when compared to their Premier League displays. It was their Europa League efforts, no doubt, that kept Postecoglou in a job. Against Manchester United, Brennan Johnson scored the only goal of the final to see Spurs win their first major trophy in 17 years.

Postecoglou, despite being under pressure, has done what so many managers have failed to do at Spurs and win a trophy. Regardless of what the North London side decide to do about their manager, they certainly have an eye on the upcoming transfer window and are monitoring a stellar talent.

Spurs Are Targeting Dibling

Youngster had a breakout season

As per the BBC, Tottenham remain keen on Tyler Dibling, who enjoyed his first season of senior football with Southampton in the Premier League. While the Saints, who were relegated with seven games to spare, endured a really tough season, Dibling was one of their few bright sparks. So much so, that "half of Europe" want Dibling according to Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg.

At just 19 years old, Dibling plays with a brilliant level of confidence for such a young player and his displays have drawn the attention of numerous Premier League clubs. Dibling, who would reportedly cost £100 million, looks bound to remain within the top flight and it seems Tottenham could be his destination.

As proven with the likes of Mathys Tel, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, Spurs are happy to put some trust into youthful players, which perhaps would not be guaranteed to Dibling were he to go elsewhere. After their Europa League win, Spurs are also a Champions League side, something that could further sway Dibling into a move.

Should Spurs manage to sign the England youth international, it would be an exceptional deal for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing three high-profile signings, including Liverpool target Benjamin Sesko, after winning the UEFA Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou lived up to his word by winning a trophy in his second season with Spurs. A 1-0 win over Manchester United has clinched qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League.

Spanish outlet Fichajes.net reports that the Lilywhites are now showing ambition in the transfer market and "working on three strategic signings". RB Leipzig striker Sesko is now one of their top targets, and they could give Liverpool competition for the Slovenian.

Spurs Plot Three Big Signings Including Sesko

Daniel Levy is ready to back whoever's at the helm

Postecoglou's future is still in doubt despite ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought. Reports claim the club are "some way down the line" of finding a replacement.

Whether the Australian remains in charge likely wouldn't affect the three big-name signings they want to make to ignite their return to the Champions League. The first is Sesko, who has reportedly received serious interest from Liverpool and is keen on a move to Anfield.

Sesko, 21, has starred for Leipzig this season and could cost around £85m (€100m). Spurs are thought to see him as "a gamble for both the present and future," a lack of interest from around Europe has "accelerated negotiations."

Postecoglou pointed to injury troubles throughout the campaign, which hindered his midfield. Speculation is growing over Rodrigo Bentancur's future amid reports suggesting that Atletico Madrid is keen on the Uruguayan and Cristian Romero.

Real Betis' Johnny Cardoso is also on Daniel Levy's wishlist. The club has a non-mandatory £20m (€25m) purchase option for the American midfielder, which was agreed upon after selling Giovani Lo Celso to the La Liga outfit.

Cardoso, 23, has received interest from around Europe, and a potential deal hinges on his desire to play in the Premier League this summer.

The Lilywhites could look to upgrade on James Maddison, who missed the Europa League final through injury. Their "dream signing" is Xavi Simons, and the Dutch attacker is one of the most in-demand playmakers this summer and could cost around a hefty £67m (€80m).

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko have scored 23 of RB Leipzig's 53 goals in the Bundesliga.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter that Simons, 22, is on the list of several clubs. There has been talk of Liverpool looking at the Leipzig star as a Florian Wirtz alternative, while Manchester United are also known admirers.

Tottenham Hotspur are being forced to remain patient as they aim to discover whether they have done enough to convince Angel Gomes to head to Hotspur Way as the Lille star prepares to make a final decision on who to join when he becomes a free agent, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou kept his promise of winning silverware in his second season at the helm, with the north Londoners beating Manchester United in the Europa League final earlier this week to end a 17-year wait for a trophy, and plans are being put in place to welcome reinforcements.

Kevin Danso will become a permanent member of Tottenham's squad, thanks to there being a £20.9million obligation to buy the central defender at the end of his initial loan spell from Lens, but there is a desire to improve their options in the middle of the park when the transfer window reopens for business.

Spurs Remain Patient in Bid to Recruit Gomes

England international preparing to confirm preferred landing spot

Tottenham are playing the waiting game in their pursuit of a deal for Gomes, according to GMS sources, but chairman Daniel Levy and members of the recruitment department will soon find out whether their attempts to turn his head since January have paid off as he edges towards confirming his preferred destination.

The England international has been pinpointed as an attractive option by Spurs and a host of other sides across Europe due to him preparing to become a free agent when his Lille contract, which allows him to pocket in the region of £12,000-per-week, expires at the end of next month.

GMS sources have been informed that Tottenham are keen to discover whether their groundwork is going to be enough to land Gomes, who has enjoyed a fruitful spell in his current surroundings, and there is an internal confidence that they have put themselves in a strong position to see off stiff competition.

West Ham United have been among Spurs' domestic counterparts looking to lure the central midfielder back to his homeland, but the east Londoners were left frustrated when he decided to snub the opportunity to join after a £100,000-per-week deal was pushed into his direction earlier this year.

Tottenham are hopeful that being able to offer Champions League action will have boosted their chances of being able to sway Gomes towards completing a switch, GMS sources have learned, but he has been determined to carefully assess his options instead of rushing into making a final decision.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Angel Gomes was limited to just 737 minutes of Ligue 1 action this season

Gomes Still Has Opportunity to Stay in France

Midfielder could opt to join current employers' domestic rivals

GMS sources have been told that Marseille could prove to be among Tottenham's biggest competitors to secure Gomes' signature as the Ligue 1 outfit, managed by former Brighton & Hove Albion chief Roberto De Zerbi, have put together a strong offer in a last-ditch attempt to convince him to remain in France.

The 24-year-old has been described as 'phenomenal' by journalist Alex Turk and showcased his quality with Les Phoceens' domestic rivals Lille, resulting in there being a desire for them to tempt him to the south coast as they prepare for a return to the Champions League in the 2025/26 campaign.

But Gomes has had a host of proposals coming his way during the final stages of his time at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, GMS sources understand, leading to Tottenham and Marseille being among the sides having to wait patiently to discover whether they have come out on top in the race for an agreement.

GMS sources recently revealed that Spurs are increasingly confident that they will recruit Marc Guehi, with the Crystal Palace centre-back interested in hearing what they have to say about a potential switch across the capital, but they do not want their spending to stop there during the summer.
