Thomas Frank looks set to become the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, and now it has been revealed that the 51-year-old has made a demand from Daniel Levy during talks, with the club granting his request.

A new manager is set to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur in the coming days, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on Friday.

Sustained success remains the objective at N17, as Tottenham have struggled for consistency in recent years, having appointed and sacked fifteen different managers since 2001.

A strong warning has already been issued to the next Spurs manager by former boss Tim Sherwood, who was also dismissed by Daniel Levy, with Sherwood urging the incoming man to gain full clarity on what the club truly wants out of the project.

Thomas Frank makes one demand from Daniel Levy during talks

Thomas Frank is on the verge of becoming the next Tottenham Hotspur manager, after productive discussions with Daniel Levy in recent days led to an agreement.

Tottenham are now expected to trigger the £10 million release clause in Frank’s Brentford contract, which would allow them to finalise the appointment, with Brentford understood to be willing to let Thomas Frank move on.

TBR Football have now revealed what the Brentford manager demanded during talks with the Spurs chairman.

According to the report, while Frank does not expect to have the final say on all transfers, he does want to be involved in the decision-making process, and Tottenham have agreed to those terms.

While it was reported that Daniel Levy was never entirely convinced about appointing Ange Postecoglou, TBR Football has made it clear that the opposite is true when it comes to Thomas Frank.

Among a shortlist that included Marco Silva, Mauricio Pochettino and Roberto De Zerbi, it is Frank who has left the strongest impression on Levy, with the report stating that it was not even close.

Graeme Bailey added: “Daniel Levy has been set on Thomas Frank for weeks – he has done a lot of work on several options, from bringing Pochettino back, to Marco Silva, to Roberto De Zerbi, but the Brentford boss has been so impressive, in the end, it has not been close.

“I am told there has been little doubt in Levy’s mind that Frank is the right man for quite a while and his talks with him only confirmed his opinion.”

While Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign has come to an end, many of the players are still in action with their respective countries.

Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson were both named in Wales’ starting eleven for their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Belgium.

Wales came into the fixture at the King Baudouin Stadium unbeaten since Craig Bellamy took charge, having drawn four and won five since of his opening matches only to suffer a late defeat in Brussels.

It was a tough start for the side captained by Davies and found themselves a goal behind after fifteen minutes when Johnson was somewhat harshly judged to have handled Kevin De Bruyne’s shot.

Things got worse for Wales, who were 3-0 down by the time the half time whistle had blown.

Brennan Johnson scores for Wales against Belgium

A resurgent Welsh side reappeared after the interval and fought back to level the score at 3-3 courtesy of the Tottenham Hotspur winger, who scored the equaliser.

Sorba Thomas’ headed cross from the left was met by the forehead of Johnson, who in trademark style appeared towards the back post and nodded home from six yards out.

Unfortunately for the Welsh, Kevin de Bruyne popped up with the winning goal three minutes from time to fire home from close range.

Davies and Johnson will now head off for some downtime before the North Londoners are set to report back for pre-season training, with Thomas Frank set to become the new Tottenham head coach following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.

Johnson was Tottenham’s top goalscorer in 2024/25

It was a tough start to the season after Johnson deactivated his Instagram account following abuse from some social media users.

The 24-year-old did bounce back and went on an impressivse goalscoring run when he netted seven times in seven matches for club and country, but kept his most important goal for the Europa League win against Manchester United in Bilbao.

Manor Solomon has made a decisive call on his Tottenham Hotspur future following his loan spell with Leeds United, and it appears he has privately communicated his stance to the club’s hierarchy.

Manor Solomon’s future at Tottenham remains up in the air, as there have been a few twists in recent weeks regarding what could potentially happen with the 25-year-old this summer.

It has been widely reported that Solomon was expected to be signed permanently by Leeds United, following his impressive loan spell in the Championship under Daniel Farke.

The understanding had been that, should Leeds secure promotion to the Premier League, a permanent deal for Solomon would be on the table and advanced quickly.

Manor Solomon wants to stay at Tottenham despite Leeds United interest

However, a few days ago, it was revealed by The Sun that Tottenham are open to keeping Manor Solomon at Hotspur Way this summer, with the Israeli international expected to be part of the club’s pre-season plans.

Now, a fresh report from TBR Football states that Solomon has told the Tottenham higher-ups that he is keen on staying at Spurs ahead of next season, with the 25-year-old looking to fight for a spot in the Tottenham first team.

This development comes despite interest from Leeds United, who are said to be desperate to bring the Tottenham loanee back to Elland Road following their return to the Premier League.

Graeme Bailey said, as relayed by TBR: “I am told that Solomon still thinks he can break into the first team at Tottenham. He has gained so much confidence from his spell at Leeds and now feels fully adapted to English football. He is a very interesting option, Spurs like him and are ready to let him prove himself during pre-season.”

Why Manor Solomon deserves a chance at Spurs

Solomon did impress during his loan spell in the Championship, with the winger delivering 23 goal contributions in 41 appearances for Leeds United.

His dramatic strike against Plymouth in the 91st minute secured Leeds’ final win of the campaign, with that last-gasp goal helping Farke’s side finish ahead of Burnley on goal difference and clinch the Championship title.

It is also reported that Solomon believes he can fight for a place in the Tottenham first team, particularly if a new manager arrives this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have been known to drag their heels in previous transfer windows and often it has backfired on them.

One of the biggest errors in years gone by was made back in 2018 when Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was trying to negotiate a deal with Aston Villa.

Financial problems had hit Villa due to former owner Tony Xia’s cash-flow issue and it looked clear that they would have to sell Jack Grealish to help balance the books.

Tottenham offered £3m plus Joshua Onomah for Grealish which was rejected and later made a second bid of £25m that also failed after Villa’s financial woes were banished due to a takeover.

Tottenham still have an interest in Jack Grealish

Grealish went on to join Manchester City for a then-British record fee of £100million in the summer 2021 and enjoyed plenty of success including three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a Champions League.

talkSPORT are reporting that Tottenham are once again interested in Grealish, who looks set to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.

The 29-year-old looks set to be left out of City’s squad for the Club World Cup in order to secure a move elswhere.

City are said to be hoping to net a transfer fee in the region of £50million for the midfielder, who is also attracting interest from Everton.

Grealish currently earns £300,000-a-week at the former Premier League champions which is likely to cause an issue for many other clubs, and despite interest from Saudi Arabian outfit Al Qadsiah, he is thought to want to continue his career in Europe.

Former midfielder Jamie O’Hara urged Tottenham to sign Grealish should they be able to land him for around £40million.

Tottenham need to improve their creative options

Under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham heavily relied on James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski to act as the creative influence within the team and when injuries or a lack of form struck, the side looked clueless in the final third.

With Tottenham looking to compete both in the Champions League and Premier League next season, there has to be a focus on bringing in another player who can help pull the strings.

Whether Daniel Levy would be prepared to pay a fee in the region of £50million for a player who turns 30 in September would be questionable, given his limited resale value in a couple of years time.

One thing is for sure, Tottenham have already wasted the first nine days of the window while other teams have been busy improving their squad.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have reacted to the latest update on Manor Solomon’s future, and the responses have been anything but unanimous.

It has been widely reported by several outlets that Leeds United are keen on signing Manor Solomon permanently this summer window, after the Tottenham Hotspur man impressed on loan in the Championship last season, scoring 10 goals in 41 appearances.

Everton have also been linked with the Tottenham winger but have not made a move for the 25-year-old despite showing interest.

Marseille were another side reported to have an interest in signing Solomon this summer from Tottenham Hotspur, but they were ruled out of the race due to political reasons.

Fresh reports, however, have stated that Tottenham are now looking to keep Manor Solomon in the first-team squad instead of allowing him to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

Solomon still has three years left on his Spurs contract, and despite making just six appearances since he joined the Lilywhites, reports suggest he is set to have a place in the squad this pre-season.

Tottenham fans, well aware of the latest report, have now given their verdict, making their feelings known about Solomon potentially staying at the club, and the response is mixed.

One Tottenham fan said: “Based on what I have seen he is better than Tel anyway”. Another commented: “Great news”. A third simply stated: “Good”. One fan remains optimistic that Solomon could do a job at Spurs: “Good, he deserves it and I think he could do a job for us”.

Another said: “Bad player”. One supporter prefers Solomon remains instead of Tel: “Rather him than £30 million on Tel, to be honest”. Another added: “After the season he has had in the Championship, he deserves a chance to prove himself. I am not certain he is at the level we need”.

Another fan claimed: “The guy is better than all wingers at the club currently, so why not give him a go”. One believes his level is the Championship: “Nope, he found his level in the Championship”. Another concluded: “He is better off at Leeds, just let him go”.

Spurs transfer plans could impact Manor Solomon decision

It has been reported that Spurs would need to sell to buy this summer, and with the club already having let go of Timo Werner, Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster and Alfie Whiteman, Solomon looks like one of the sellable players that can fetch a decent amount for the north London club.

Tottenham have already been reported to be considering a new signing on the wing this summer, and if they are to go through with that, it seems reasonable to let Solomon go for at least £15-20 million.

Tottenham Hotspur make a decision on one of their forgotten men, as the future of Manor Solomon is set to take a surprising turn amid ongoing uncertainty over Ange Postecoglou’s job.

Tottenham Hotspur have yet to reach a final verdict on the future of manager Ange Postecoglou, following a second season that brought mixed outcomes.

The Australian guided Spurs to a historic Europa League triumph, ending the club’s long wait for silverware, but a 17th-place finish in the Premier League has cast serious doubts over his position.

Postecoglou returned to England on 5 June after a post-season holiday and is now awaiting a decision from chairman Daniel Levy and the Tottenham hierarchy, with reports pointing towards a likely dismissal, though no official statement has been made.

Despite the managerial situation, Tottenham are now said to have pushed ahead with a decision regarding the playing squad, with reports suggesting that the club has now decided on the future of one of their loan players who spent last season in the Championship.

Tottenham set to bring Manor Solomon back into the first-team

Manor Solomon, who turned out 41 times for Leeds United in the Championship last season, scoring ten goals and helping Daniel Farke’s side seal promotion back to the Premier League, is now expected to return to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Israeli winger still has three years remaining on his deal at Tottenham; however, despite struggling for minutes in North London, having featured just six times since arriving at Spurs, the latest update signals a potential fresh start.

MORE SPURS STORIES

According to a report from The Sun, Tottenham are now said to be leaning towards reintegrating Solomon into the first-team setup during pre-season. The plan, as things stand, is for the 25-year-old to remain with the squad for the upcoming campaign.

Spurs face competition for Solomon despite transfer stance

This development comes in spite of mounting interest in Solomon from clubs across England and Europe. Leeds United are said to be exploring the possibility of bringing Solomon back to Elland Road permanently following his successful loan spell.

Everton has also been linked with the winger, although there is no concrete agreement in place between Solomon and any potential suitor as of now.

French side Marseille had shown interest in Solomon too, but have reportedly withdrawn due to political reasons, ruling them out of the race to secure his signature.

If Tottenham do opt to keep him, it could be a chance for Solomon to finally make his mark in North London. However, with the managerial situation unresolved, it remains unclear which system he might be playing in, or whether a new manager would even consider him part of the plans.

Chelsea are reported to have exploded into the race for £67m-rated Xavi Simons as Tottenham face another transfer battle with the Blues.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons, who has impressed during his time in Germany.

The Dutch international has notched up 44 goal involvements in 76 appearances, scoring 21 goals and assisting 23 during his three seasons at RB Leipzig.

It has since emerged that the German outfit are open to parting ways with Simons this summer, with the 22-year-old valued at a hefty £67m, and Tottenham are believed to be among the clubs keen on securing his signature.

Chelsea make move for Tottenham target Xavi Simons

Fresh reports from TeamTalk now claim that Chelsea have joined Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Xavi Simons.

The Blues are said to be seriously weighing up an approach for the RB Leipzig attacking midfielder, as the club looks to strengthen their ranks with a series of high-profile additions this summer.

It is understood that Chelsea has already made contact with Simons’ representatives, signalling their intent as they prepare to launch a formal offer for the Dutchman.

Chelsea are also believed to view Simons as a dynamic and inventive presence in midfield – someone who can add cutting edge and unpredictability in the final third, which has been lacking for large parts of the campaign.

Tottenham, meanwhile, still retain a strong interest in the 22-year-old, having first reached out to his camp in January. However, reports suggest Spurs have not yet taken the next step, which could allow Chelsea to steal a march in the coming weeks.

Spurs must act fast as Chelsea push for Simons transfer

The Blues have already pipped Tottenham to one of their targets this summer, having secured the signing of Delap from Ipswich Town, despite Spurs showing firm interest in the forward.

Tottenham will be eager to avoid a repeat situation, particularly with Simons being a player they have tracked closely for some time now.

However, the race is far from a two-horse one, with both Arsenal and Liverpool also monitoring developments around the 22-year-old.

Arsenal are yet to make a formal move, but Liverpool are actively in the market for a creative midfielder, and Simons is among the names on their shortlist.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have not held back in their reactions, as the club continues to pursue yet another teenage target.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to play in the Champions League next season and as such Spurs need to secure the signing of experienced players, according to manager Ange Postecoglou.

However, despite the manager’s comments, Spurs have once again been linked with a youngster, with attention having turned to the Danish Superliga, in a move that does not exactly scream experience for Europe’s biggest stage.

Reports from June 6 claim that Tottenham are now firmly back in the race for Victor Froholdt, as the Lilywhites are said to be monitoring the 19-year-old midfielder closely, with other European clubs also believed to be keeping tabs on the player.

Tottenham tracking FC Copenhagen starlet Victor Froholdt

Victor Froholdt enjoyed a standout campaign last season, operating primarily as a central midfielder, making 53 appearances for FC Copenhagen.

He ended the season with six goals and five assists to his name – and although he lacks Champions League experience, the 19-year-old has featured 16 times in the UEFA Conference League, which has at least given him some exposure to continental football, although at a lower level than Spurs will be competing in.

Spurs fans, well aware of the club’s interest in Froholdt, have expressed frustration at what they see as a continued focus on youth rather than proven quality.

One supporter said: “Are we opening up a daycare?” while another questioned: “Oh look, more kids when we were supposed to be signing experienced players this window.” Another fan joked sarcastically: “Yasss… the experienced player we need.”

Some fans attempted to remain hopeful, with one commenting: “Last time we signed a Scandinavian midfielder it went alright, did it not?”

Others admitted Froholdt has talent but maintained their stance: “Obviously we need established players, so this is not the sort of link we want to hear. But he is a great talent and could easily be another Bergvall-level player.”

Spurs must be balanced in summer transfer window

It has been reported that Tottenham are aiming to land a marquee signing this summer, a move that would demonstrate clear ambition and intent.

But right now, that ambition feels theoretical, as the club continues to miss out on key targets amid the lingering uncertainty around Ange Postecoglou’s future.

Supporters are rightfully frustrated, as the lack of concrete movement, particularly in the senior end of the squad, only fuels the perception that Spurs are not moving with purpose.

Still, balance is crucial. If Tottenham are to thrive next season, they will need a healthy mix of both talented youngsters and experienced heads.

Ange Postecoglou saw it coming long before his Tottenham sacking became a reality, as the Australian manager had already hinted at the exact circumstances that would lead to his downfall.

Tottenham Hotspur’s sacking of Ange Postecoglou has since been confirmed, and it would not have come as a surprise to many, given the Australian’s Premier League record.

Spurs revealed in their long statement following the manager’s sacking that Postecoglou’s run of 78 points from his last 66 Premier League games meant that they had to part ways with him.

A new manager is expected in the Tottenham dugout this season, with reports strongly linking Thomas Frank as the club’s main choice to take over from Postecoglou.

Ange Postecoglou predicted Tottenham sacking back in October

Winning the Europa League trophy was not enough to paper over the cracks of Postecoglou’s poor domestic campaign, as Tottenham made Ange the 15th manager to be axed by chairman Daniel Levy.

While the decision came as a surprise to a few Spurs fans, with many questioning why Levy would part ways with a European winner, Postecoglou might not have been surprised, given that he predicted such an outcome back in October 2024.

Speaking on Erik ten Hag’s sacking by Manchester United, the Australian manager was quick to highlight that winning trophies is not enough to keep a manager in a job, given that ten Hag was sacked after winning two pieces of silverware with the Red Devils.

Postecoglou said, as relayed by TNT Sport: “We’ve got a manager who’s won two in the last two years who’s just got the sack. Everyone tells me, just win a trophy and you’ll be fine. I don’t think so.”

Tim Sherwood outlines what next Spurs manager must prioritise

Postecoglou’s prediction was indeed correct, as he was sacked after leading Tottenham to their worst ever domestic finish in the Premier League, with Spurs ending the 24/25 season in 17th place.

Tim Sherwood has revealed what the next Tottenham manager needs to do if he is to keep his place in the dugout. According to the former Spurs boss, it is not enough to win a trophy – instead, the objective has to be to remain competitive in the Premier League.

He said: “I am not surprised to be perfectly honest. It does not mean to say I agree with the decision, I just felt that having lost 22 games in the Premier League, and finished in the position where Tottenham did, I thought that it would not have sat well with the hierarchy there.

“Even though they went on and won a major European competition and qualified for the Champions League in the meantime, and that look there after the Brighton game – I think that was the writing on the wall there. When I saw Daniel’s face, I thought you have got to be really careful what you wish for.

“I was worried for the Tottenham fans because the new man going there – what is the objective? Because the objective is not to win trophies obviously.

“The objective is to be more competitive in the Premier League, which is the bread and butter, where people pay for their season tickets and they go and watch it week in, week out. That seems to be the objective of the board.

“You need to be quite clear when you are going in there, whoever it may be. There are a lot of managers being tied around, they need to make sure they know what the objective is and what success looks like.”

Pop icon Robbie Williams could not help himself as he cheekily reminded Arsenal fans that their European trophy drought continues, with a classic north London dig that will have Tottenham fans smiling.

The past few weeks for Tottenham Hotspur fans have been nothing but surreal as they watched their club end their long wait for silverware after they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final.

A scruffy toe-poke from Brennan Johnson was enough for the Lilywhites in Bilbao in a game that is set to go down as one of the best during Ange Postecoglou’s time at Tottenham.

The banter era is now over, as Tottenham now have a trophy to show for their valiant effort in recent years, with many of those ending in near misses for the Lilywhites, but last season was the holy grail moment for them.

Robbie Williams mocks Arsenal as Tottenham enjoy European glory

While the white side of north London continues to celebrate their fourth European trophy in their history, the red side has little to shout about, except for their umpteenth second-placed finish in the last five seasons, with, of course, no silverware to show for it.

Pop star Robbie Williams continues to be full COYS, as the singer was quick to take a dig at the Gunners, who are still awaiting their first taste of European success.

The musician, during his concert, made it clear that a European trophy was only just four miles away from Arsenal, who have never won one. He was spotted saying: “How far away are Arsenal from a European trophy?” before cheekily responding: “Four f***ing miles.”

Spurs fans hope for more European nights after win over Manchester United

With the memories of their Europa League triumph still fresh in their mind, Tottenham fans would be hoping they can add another European trophy to their cabinet when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.

Indeed, such a matchup would not be easy for the Lilywhites, but several Tottenham fans remain optimistic that Spurs can beat PSG come 13 August.

For sure, coming in as underdogs could work well for Spurs, as many do not expect the Lilywhites to emerge victorious, but that could play in their favour, and hopefully it leads to another famous European night that would surely sting Arsenal fans even more.
