Tottenham fans have been whipped into a frenzy following reports that the club have stepped up their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo in the wake of Thomas Frank’s arrival.

Tottenham Hotspur only confirmed the appointment of new manager Thomas Frank on Thursday, 12 June, but there has already been movement behind the scenes regarding their summer transfer business.

It has now been revealed that Tottenham have held early discussions with Brentford over a possible deal for Bryan Mbeumo, a player they have monitored for a while.

Spurs are understood to be long-term admirers of the versatile forward, who enjoyed a strong season at the West London club, where he scored 20 Premier League goals last campaign.

According to recent reports, Mbeumo is now intrigued by a move across the capital following Thomas Frank’s move to north London, as Spurs are believed to have received fresh encouragement over their pursuit of the 25-year-old.

Some are even reporting that Tottenham have submitted a £70m bid for Mbeumo in the last 24 hours.

One fan wrote: “Imagine we beat United four times in one season, win a trophy against them, then take their main transfer target.”

The mood was similarly jubilant elsewhere, with another declaring: “LETS GOOO.” One supporter was already dreaming big, saying: “We are winning it all omdsssss.”

Others simply could not contain their excitement, as one fan boldly posted: “Champions of Europe pull,” while another added: “Oh god it might actually happen.”

The Thomas Frank factor was clearly felt too, with one fan saying: “THOMAS THE FRANK ENGINE PULL,” and another chiming in: “I really hope we pull this off, top top player.”

Mbeumo to Spurs makes sense on and off the pitch

A move for Bryan Mbeumo would certainly benefit both parties. For the player, it represents a chance to join a club offering Champions League football, while remaining in London – a transition that would be far smoother both on a personal and professional level.

In fact, even an Arsenal legend has suggested that Bryan Mbeumo should opt for Tottenham over Manchester United.

Perry Groves said: “Then you are looking at Manchester United who knows they need a centre forward, it has been reported that they are in for Bryan Mbeumo as well.

“If Manchester United come in for him and Spurs are in for Mbeumo, where do you think he goes… If that comes as a choice, football wise he should go to, it pains me to say it, he should go to Spurs because of Champions League football, and you want to play at the highest level.

“But financially that is why Spurs are going to struggle to get to that, even with Antonio Conte, obviously Postecoglou had a bit of a moan about it, Jose Mourinho that next level, because all the top teams pay their top players 250,000 pound a week but Spurs are never going to do that.”

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Hayden Hackney has just got a lot harder after Manchester United stepped up their interest in the Middlesbrough man.

Tottenham are expected to reinforce their midfield this summer, with Yves Bissouma, who is into the final year of his contract, potentially on his way out of the club this summer.

Additionally, it is well-documented that Spurs are short of homegrown numbers, and may thus need to shop for English talent this summer.

As a result, it was suggested a few days ago that Tottenham are ready to make a move for Hackney, who is valued at £20m by Boro.

Manchester United ready to offer Tottenham competition for Hayden Hackney

According to a new report from GiveMeSport, Boro are ready to cash in on their star midfielder after failing to win promotion to the Premier League.

However, the report says that Tottenham Hotspur have been joined in the race for the 22-year-old by Manchester United, with Rubem Amorim identifying the young Englishman as a target as he looks to upgrade his options in the middle of the park.

The Red Devils will now try to lure the youngster to Old Trafford but several other clubs are also thought to be monitoring the player’s situation.

The report says that West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are now also contemplating whether to make a move for Hackney this summer.

Spurs may have to pay a higher fee for Hackney than they expected

GiveMeSport say that while Boro initially wanted £20m for Hackney, the Championship side are now hopeful that they can get a bigger fee, even though the player only has two years left on his contract.

The Middlesbrough hierarchy are hoping that a bidding war emerges for the midfielder over the coming weeks and drives his price up.

Additionally, they could use Hackney’s impressive recent performances for England’s Under-21 side to demand a higher fee from suitors.

Tottenham have been linked with a move for Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, and now transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest update on the situation.

In the past few weeks, links between Tottenham Hotspur and Antoine Semenyo have been rife, as the Bournemouth man is reported to be a transfer target for the Lilywhites.

It has since been revealed that Spurs have stepped up their pursuit of Semenyo, as they eye a move for him this summer.

However, they are not the only club interested in the services of the Ghanaian, with Manchester United also reported to be monitoring the situation, but it has been claimed that Spurs are the ones who have done the most work on Semenyo in recent weeks.

Indeed, Tottenham’s interest in Semenyo is not without reason, as the Bournemouth man impressed last season with the Cherries, scoring 11 goals and registering five assists in 37 Premier League appearances.

He is also capable of playing on both the left and the right, which certainly adds to his appeal, as the Lilywhites look to bolster their attacking options.

Fabrizio Romano has now shared what he knows about Tottenham’s links with the Bournemouth winger. The respected journalist has stated that Tottenham do appreciate Semenyo; however, it is still too early for any sort of negotiations.

He also revealed that Bournemouth are looking to keep him at the club during the summer transfer window. He said, as relayed by GIVEMESPORT: “Semenyo is appreciated, yes, but at the moment it is still early for a negotiation… and Bournemouth will try to keep him.”

Spurs face a £70m fee for Semenyo this summer

Of course, the Cherries are in no rush to part ways with Antoine Semenyo this summer despite interest from Tottenham, as the winger still has four years remaining on his current deal.

It has been reported that Daniel Levy has made contact with Semenyo’s representatives, who have stated that Bournemouth would not be budging on their £70 million asking price for the Ghana international.

If Spurs are to sign the winger for that price tag, it would make him their most expensive signing in history, surpassing the £65 million they paid for Dominic Solanke last summer.

Tottenham have tabled a stunning £70 million bid for Bryan Mbeumo, blowing Manchester United out of the water in a move that could reshape the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Bryan Mbeumo has been gathering pace over the past few days, as reports have linked the Lilywhites with the Brentford man, who impressed last season, scoring 20 goals in the Premier League.

It was reported a few days back that Spurs were expected to rival Manchester United for the signature of Mbeumo, as they edged closer to signing former Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

Frank has now joined Tottenham, and it is understood that initial contact has been made with Mbeumo, who is now reported to be intrigued about the possibility of moving to north London following the appointment of the Dane.

Tottenham submit £70 million Bryan Mbeumo transfer bid

Spurs fans are excited about the latest links with Mbeumo, with many urging Tottenham to sign the “top” player.

Now, a fresh report from the Mirror has revealed that Spurs have put in a bid for Mbeumo, one that is worth more than what Manchester United have placed.

A £70million bid is reported to have been put in by Tottenham, as they look to hijack Manchester United’s move for the Brentford forward.

According to the outlet, Spurs’ offer is worth £65million plus £5million in add-ons, £10million more than United’s.

Spurs push for marquee Mbeumo signing as Manchester United stall

It is claimed that Tottenham want to make a marquee signing this summer, and with a £70 million offer tabled for Bryan Mbeumo, it looks like Daniel Levy has identified his statement signing for this window.

It is understood that, as it stands, United are not preparing to lodge any more offers higher than their £60million bid, as their previous offers are said to have been rejected by the Bees.

Brentford on their part are said to value Mbeumo at £70million and are not willing to step down their valuation.

With Tottenham now reaching the expectations of the West London club, it remains to be seen what move the Cameroon international makes, as it is reported that United is his preferred destination.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Bryan Mbeumo, but beating Manchester United to his signature is going to be difficult.

Tottenham have confirmed Thomas Frank’s appointment as manager and with that comes the opportunity to target players he has previously worked with. Bryan Mbeumo worked with Frank for six years at Brentford, and he has been linked with a move to Spurs.

A recent report revealed Thomas Frank wants Bryan Mbeumo at Tottenham. In order to grant their new manager’s wish Tottenham looked to hijack Mbeumo’s potential move to Manchester United.

On Friday afternoon, it was revealed that Mbeumo is now more intrigued by Spurs after the arrival of Frank, while the London factor could be a draw for the Brentford star.

However, others have claimed that Frank is unlikely to poach any of Brentford’s players this summer. As well as this, Tottenham are said to be unlikely to sign Mbeumo due to his strong links with Manchester United.

Football Insider have revealed Mbeumo could still join Tottenham due to the belief added by Frank’s arrival. However, it would be a ‘stunning development’ if Spurs could land a deal, as Manchester United are still in the driving seat to sign the Cameroon international.

Transfer correspondent Peter O’Rourke told Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast: “It’s going to be difficult to beat Man United to Mbeumo.

“United are well down the line on this move, and the player himself wishes to make that move to Old Trafford rather than other potential clubs.

“Thomas Frank could be a big pull for Mbeumo, but United are very optimistic that they’ll be able to land the Cameroon international.

“They’ve had one bid rejected and talks are ongoing with Brentford. They just need to reach a compromise over his fee and then that deal will get done.

“The other factor is that Spurs won’t be able to match United on wages they could offer.

“So Man United are still in the driving seat to get this done, despite suggestions that Tottenham could hijack their move.”

Who are Tottenham’s Bryan Mbeumo alternatives?

Spurs are interested in signing Bradley Barcola from PSG. However, this could be a difficult deal to get over the line, as he would cost more than £40m. Also, Tottenham face competition from Bayern Munich to sign Barcola.

Mbeumo and Barcola are not the only wingers capturing Tottenham’s interest. Spurs are considering a move for Dorgeles Nene. The RB Salzburg winger picked up 24 goal contributions last season and can play on either wing.

Tottenham are also said to be looking at both Antoine Semenyo and Tyler Dibling as Mbeumo alternatives.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have shared their thoughts following the appointment of Thomas Frank, with a wave of reactions that reflect both optimism and cautious enthusiasm about the new era ahead.

Tottenham Hotspur have finally landed their preferred managerial target, Thomas Frank, with the announcement made official on Thursday, 12 June.

The appointment signals the beginning of a fresh chapter at the club after Ange Postecoglou was relieved of his duties following two seasons in charge.

The Danish manager arrives in north London accompanied by a small backroom team, including four staff members, one of whom is former Spurs figure Justin Cochrane.

Frank has signed a three-year contract, with Tottenham hopeful that the 51-year-old can replicate the structured, steady progress seen during his tenure at Brentford and build something lasting and sustainable at Spurs.

Tottenham fans react to Thomas Frank appointment

Tottenham Hotspur fans wasted no time in voicing their thoughts on the club’s new head coach, and the mood among the fanbase appears to lean positive, with several supporters seeing Thomas Frank as the right fit.

One fan remarked: “He is a brilliant coach. Does more with less. We need to back him for two seasons and get him players he needs not deals we like. He will need 6 months to just teach our players how to play proper football with what their responsibilities per position are.”

Another echoed that sentiment and welcomed the risk: “Worth the risk. If we did not, someone else would have and we would have looked back and been saying ‘why could we not make a move like that?’ Most successful managers have come from someone taking a risk on them after them showing they deserve a step up. Bring it on! New era.”

One Tottenham supporter shared their opinion on Thomas Frank: “Happy and looking forward to a real coach now! 👍😍” while another added: “Hate that we made a change, but Frank is a quality manager. I think his pragmatism makes him a good choice and maybe avoid a full rebuild.”

There were also fans who expressed genuine excitement. One said: “Very excited. Think he is a top coach and the right appointment for us.” Another commented: “Buzzing! Let us give him time and players and also excited for having a plan B in a game.”

Perhaps the most emphatic reaction came from a fan who fully backed the club’s choice: “Absolutely delighted to welcome Thomas Frank to Tottenham! This is the first appointment of head coach since Levy signed Pochettino that I completely agree with the choice!”

Why Spurs fans are still upset about Ange Postecoglou

Indeed, it is no surprise that not every supporter is entirely sold on the decision to replace Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian coach gave many Tottenham fans some of their most cherished recent memories when he led the team to win the Europa League a few weeks ago.

However, the club have taken a new direction and supporters must now turn their focus to the future. Frank is in place, and the backing of the fanbase will be crucial if he is to succeed in what is a demanding and high-pressure role.

Thomas Frank will begin work immediately as Tottenham prepare for pre-season, with attention now turning to the summer transfer window, as plans are underway to shape the squad in his image. This next phase promises to be intriguing.

Amidst the quick developments regarding Bryan Mbeumo’s future over the last few hours, journalist Ben Jacobs has now revealed Tottenham and Manchester United’s latest stance regarding the Brentford man.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have got very excited about the reports that emerged regarding the Cameroon international over recent hours.

It was reported by Sky Sports earlier today that Mbeumo is now ‘more intrigued’ about joining Tottenham after the arrival of Thomas Frank in North London.

The outlet even claimed that Spurs had received encouragement in their pursuit of the 25-year-old while other sources suggested that the opportunity to remain in London could make Tottenham an attractive destination for Mbeumo.

The ball is in Man United’s court in Mbeumo pursuit

Journalist Ben Jacobs has now confirmed that Spurs have stepped up their interest in the Brentford man, but he explains that the conversation between the Lilywhites and the Bees are not at an advanced stage yet.

He reveals that the Red Devils are still the favourites to land Bryan Mbeumo over Tottenham at the moment, with the player preferring a move to Old Trafford.

However, Manchester United have only offered £45m plus £10m in add-ons for Mbeumo so far while the Bees want more than £60m for the player.

Interestingly, Jacobs asserts that Tottenham are willing to make a better offer than the one Ruben Amorim’s side had turned down for Mbeumo.

Tottenham have identified two Bryan Mbeumo alternatives

Jacobs says that while Tottenham may push ahead with an offer for Bryan Mbeumo if encouraged, they are not putting all their eggs in the Brentford man’s basket.

He claims that the Lilywhites have identified Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and Southampton’s Tyler Dibling as alternatives to the Cameroon international.

Transfer market expert Graeme Bailey has now become the latest journalist to suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are still very much in the running for Bryan Mbeumo, explaining why the Lilywhites could still hijack Man United’s deal for the Brentford man.

Until a couple of days ago, it was reported that Spurs are unlikely to hijack the deal for Mbeumo, who prefers to join Manchester United.

However, the situation appears to have changed over recent hours after Thomas Frank was confirmed as the Tottenham Hotspur head coach.

Earlier today, Sky Sports claimed that Mbeumo is now ‘more intrigued’ about a move to Spurs following the arrival of Frank at N17.

Tottenham have two things that could appeal to Bryan Mbeumo

Bailey has now revealed that while the Red Devils remain firm favourites to land the Cameron international, a move to Tottenham cannot be ruled out for the Brentford man.

Not only do Spurs have the lure of Thomas Frank, but the possibility of remaining in London could appeal to the 25-year-old even though he had previously given the green light to move to Old Trafford.

Bailey told TBR Football: “We need to keep an eye on the Mbeumo situation. It is a thing. Manchester United are very confident the player is theirs and the player has made it clear he is ready to join United, but we need to keep an eye on that one – I am told that if the player is offered the chance to stay in London, it could play a part.

“As said, United are still firm favourites, but Tottenham do like the player – they did before Thomas Frank arrived, so for them to come in for him would not be a huge shock. Indeed, within football, there is an expectation that they will.

“The question is now if United can get this done and dusted. Spurs think there is a need for another player on the right. But, from what I am told, the belief at Spurs is that Frank is a fan of this squad. They think he will love working with it – someone like Brennan Johnson is going to love playing for Frank.”

Tottenham want to sign two Brentford midfielders

It is not only Bryan Mbeumo that Tottenham are keen on. Over the last couple of days, it has also emerged that Spurs are one of several clubs vying for Mikkel Damsgaard, whose future at the Gtech Community Stadium is in doubt.

It has also been reported that Thomas Frank would like to bring Christian Norgaard to Spurs, with the Danish coach a big admirer of the Brentford captain.

The European U21 Championship is officially underway and Tottenham Hotspur will be keeping a close eye on a number of players competing.

Senior international matches have already wrapped up for the summer, but the under-21s fixtures are only just beginning. England will begin their campaign tonight against Czechia, with Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray part of their squad.

Spurs also have representation in the French team. Wilson Odobert will be hoping to make an impact for his country and he will be joined by Mathys Tel, who has been playing on loan at Tottenham since January, with the possibility of the move being made permanent this summer.

However, some of the other players at the tournament could be rocking the famous Lilywhite by the end of the summer transfer window, as scouts from North London look to identify players who can improve the Tottenham first-team squad.

Tottenham are linked with six players at U21 Euro 2025

TBR Football report that Spurs are considering moves for multiple youngsters currently playing in Slovakia.

One player is Noah Edjouma, who is gathering interest from Premier League clubs and a move to Tottenham cannot be ruled out. The 19-year-old winger currently plays for Toulouse, where he made 10 Ligue 1 appearances last season.

Spurs look keen on signing a new centre-back and are said to like Italian defender Diego Coppola. The Hellas Verona man boasts impressive defensive stats, topping many in his age category, but Brighton are working hard to secure his signature.

In midfield, Spurs could look to strengthen by signing 20-year-old Italian Niccolo Pisilli from Roma. They have already done the groundwork towards completing a potential deal. Nurnberg and Germany midfielder Caspar Jander is also on Tottenham’s radar, as he was scouted last season.

Spurs could also sign a new full-back and Germany’s Nathaniel Brown is liked by those inside the club. The left-sided defender played against Tottenham in the Europa League quarter-final, as they battled past Eintracht Frankfurt.

Finally, Vladyslav Vanat is another player to have been scouted by Spurs. The 23-year-old bagged 21 goals and nine assists in all competitions for Dynamo Kiev last season. He has been named as the possible ‘breakout star’ of the tournament, and has a whole host of Premier League clubs assessing his progress.

Where do Spurs need to strengthen?

Tottenham must be ready to compete in the Champions League and with Cristian Romero’s future remaining uncertain, signing a centre-back could become essential. Adding a full-back to the squad would also be a good move, as Sergio Reguilon has left the club.

Yves Bissouma could leave Tottenham, with just one year remaining on his contract, so signing a midfielder may be a wise move. Spurs could also use a new winger, as there were times last season when the team suffered from a lack of quality on the flanks.

Adding another striker is less essential than most other positions, but signing a proven goalscorer like Vanat would provide whoever is named the new manager with another forward option. A bit of competition could be good for Dominic Solanke, who was not threatening enough in front of goal last season.

Tottenham’s new assistant head coach Justin Cochrane has explained one similarity between Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino, which will excite Spurs fans.

Cochrane is one of four confirmed members of Frank’s coaching staff at Spurs, with the 43-year-old set to be the Dane’s right-hand man at Hotspur Way.

He has been joined by Chris Haslam (Head of Performance & First Team Assistant Coach), Joe Newton (First Team Coach Analyst), and Andreas Georgson (First Team Assistant Coach).

Cochrane has extensive experience working with and developing young players, having coached as part of England’s youth setup as well as in the Tottenham academy during Mauricio Pochettino’s time at the club.

Justin Cochrane’s exciting proclamation about Thomas Frank

Having seen both Pochettino and Frank work up close, Cochrane revealed back in 2022 that the Argentine and the Dane share one similarity: their ability to understand what makes different players tick.

He explained that like Pochettino, the new Tottenham Hotspur head coach can connect with players on a human level and deliver messages that are attuned to getting the best out of each individual.

Cochrane said on the Training Ground Guru podcast two years ago: “Understanding talent and difference – Marcus Edwards, Noni Madueke, Alejandro Garnacho – I had to connect with them the same way I am having to now with Bryan Mbeumo, Mikkel Damsgaard and Keane Lewis-Potter.

“It’s the same process. It’s about soft skills, emotional intelligence, understanding yourself, listening skills and finding ways to connect with people. And it takes time, it doesn’t happen overnight.

“It’s just being genuinely interested in them as human beings. Thomas Frank is probably the best I’ve seen – and Mauricio Pochettino and Gareth Southgate – of content and connection. They know their stuff, their tactics, their gameplay – and they know how to get the best out of people.

“Thomas Frank is outstanding with his details. He understands how to set up a team, and a training session, and he’s brilliant at getting the best out of the players. You can see that – the players are at their max each week in the Premier League.

“Mauricio knew when players needed an arm round the shoulder, a kick up the backside, he was brilliant with them. Understanding emotional intelligence, understanding self.”

Why Brentford were so desperate to keep Justin Cochrane away from Tottenham

Landing the 43-year-old is a real coup for Spurs, with some sources claiming that Cochrane was in line to replace Frank as Brentford’s head coach had he stayed.

This was backed up by The Independent, who claimed that Cochrane was the Bees’ number one choice to replace Frank ahead of Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna.

The outlet claimed that the West London club fought to hang on to the Englishman and there was a ‘tug of war’ with Tottenham before he eventually made the move to North London.
