Spurs Web

Brentford have opened the door to talks that could see Thomas Frank leave the Bees for Tottenham this summer, and a bid below his release clause could be considered.

Tottenham Hotspur are desperate to secure the signing of a new head coach following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, who spent just two years in north London.

Spurs are reported to have identified Brentford’s Thomas Frank as a possible replacement for Postecoglou, with reports stating that several talks have been held between Frank and chairman Daniel Levy.

Should talks with Thomas Frank break down, it has been reported that Spurs have identified two Premier League managers as backup options, with Oliver Glasner and Marco Silva also on their list.

Brentford are willing to listen to offers for Frank

Brentford are not expected to stand in the way of Frank should he want a move to a bigger club, according to reports.

It is also understood that Thomas Frank has made it clear he wants to join Tottenham, with the Brentford boss reported to have told his current employers that he is keen on making the move.

Sky Sports is now reporting that Brentford are willing to listen to offers for Thomas Frank, despite his release clause being placed at £10 million.

However, it is claimed by the news outlet that an official approach for the Dane is yet to arrive, although one is anticipated in west London.

Tottenham value Thomas Frank’s development pedigree

Reports over the weeks continue to state that talks between Tottenham and Thomas Frank are progressing well.

The Lilywhites are said to be big admirers of Frank’s ability to nurture youngsters, which would come as no surprise, given that Spurs have one of the youngest sides in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a new head coach is fully underway ahead of the new season.

Last week, Tottenham decided to sack Ange Postecoglou after two years in charge of the North Londoners.

Not even winning the Europa League trophy following a win against Manchester United in Bilbao could salvage Postecoglou’s job, with chairman Daniel Levy wielding the axe on the 59-year-old.

The decision saw many Tottenham fans divided over Postecoglou’s dismissal with some believing the Australian had done enough to warrant at least being in charge for the start of the 2025/26 season.

News of Postecoglou’s exit is said to have left some Tottenham players asking to leave the club with the dressing room angry with the decision.

Thomas Frank looks set to take Tottenham job

Thomas Frank has been heavily linked with becoming the man to take over from Postecoglou in N17.

Brentford fan and talkSPORT presenter Natalie Sawyer revealed that she decided to check with her club sources over Frank’s current situation amid the Tottenham job rumours.

The former Sky Sports News presenter shed light on the latest, saying on talkSPORT via X: “Funnily enough, I have been doing a little bit of digging myself and after yesterday, I have accepted I am going to have to say goodbye.

“My sources have said yes, it’s pretty much a done deal. The issue now with Brentford is negotiating who else [backroom staff] can go with Thomas Frank.

“From my sources, who are close to those connected at the club it all comes down to who else from the backroom staff he can take.”

When is Thomas Frank likely to become Tottenham manager

Tottenham will certainly want to have their new head coach confirmed and in place by the end of this week, with the first part of the summer transfer window set to close tomorrow until June 16th.

While other clubs have been busy signing new players to improve their squad ahead of next season, Spurs have instead been focused on sacking their head coach and also making board level changes.

As speculation continues to intensify over the future of Heung-min Son, a new report has revealed what his Tottenham teammates expect to happen with the forward this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked their Europa League-winning manager and they might also start the new season without their current captain, who proudly hoisted the trophy in Bilbao.

It has been reported over the last two weeks that Tottenham may consider selling Son if they receive a big enough offer, with the forward thought to be of interest to Saudi Pro League clubs.

According to some outlets, Spurs could use the funds from Son’s sale to facilitate a summer spending spree as they look to rejig their squad.

The impression Heung-min Son gave his Tottenham teammates

The Telegraph have now backed up reports of interest from Saudi Arabia for the Tottenham captain.

Interestingly, the outlet says that Son left some of his Tottenham teammates and the staff at the club with the impression that he could leave this summer.

The South Korean has now completed a decade at N17 and there is no doubt that he will be leaving the club as a legend if he does decide to call time on his Spurs career.

Some Tottenham fans believe Son deserves a mural right next to Harry Kane on the High Road next to the stadium after his historic Europa League win.

Could Ange Postecoglou’s sacking affect Son’s decision?

According to reports, some Tottenham players are angered by the decision to sack Postecoglou, with some even contemplating leaving the club as a result.

Son sent a heartfelt message to Postecoglou after his sacking, praising the Australian for changing the club’s trajectory forever.

It would thus appear that Tottenham’s decision to part ways with the 59-year-old could increase their captain’s chances of leaving.

Harry Redknapp has drawn a bold comparison between Tottenham and Manchester United’s recent managerial decisions, suggesting Erik ten Hag’s downfall may have played a part in Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham exit.

After weeks of speculation over the future of the Spurs manager, Tottenham Hotspur have since announced the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on 6 June.

It was a mixed two years at the helm for the Australian manager, who started his debut season in the best way possible, after he won eight of his opening ten games, a run that saw him top of the Premier League table.

However, results in the Premier League have been far from consistent, with Postecoglou picking up just 78 points from his last 66 Premier League matches, a poor run of form that saw Spurs sack Postecoglou after a performance review.

Harry Redknapp, one of the 15 managers to have been sacked by Daniel Levy, has now opened up on what he thinks was the reasoning behind Tottenham’s sacking of a manager who only just ended their 17-year wait for silverware and a four-decade wait for a European trophy.

According to the former Tottenham manager, he admitted that he saw the sack coming after Daniel Levy did not come out in support of Postecoglou following Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.

Redknapp also explained how Levy’s decision could have been influenced by Manchester United’s continued struggles under Erik ten Hag despite their FA Cup win two seasons ago.

The Red Devils eventually ended up sacking Ten Hag midway through last season, with new coach Ruben Amorim still unable to save the club from their worst campaign in decades.

He told TalkSport: “Overall, I suppose Daniel has looked at it and is thinking, ‘Hang on’,” said Redknapp.

“Manchester United kept Ten Hag last year after winning a cup and they went out and bought some players under his leadership and then suddenly they sack him.

“Were they going to take that chance with Ange? Bringing four or five new players and suddenly things have not improved in the league by Christmas, then they have to sack him and are stuck with the players he brought in.

“He looks like a good guy and I would have liked to have seen him given more of a chance but it was never going to happen once Daniel did not come out and support him.”

Spurs fans split over Postecoglou sacking despite trophy win

The decision of Levy to sack Ange Postecoglou has been met by mixed reactions amongst the Tottenham fanbase.

Many believe the Australian should have been given an extra season following his triumph in Europe, while others cannot look past the club’s dismal Premier League campaign, which saw them finish 17th in the Premier League, after losing 22 games.

Thomas Tuchel has now sent a message to Ange Postecoglou following Tottenham’s dismal Premier League campaign, which led to the Australian’s sacking at Spurs.

Daniel Levy has never shied away from making tough calls at Tottenham Hotspur, having sacked 15 managers during his 24 years as chairman.

Ange Postecoglou became the 15th manager to receive the sack on June 6, when Spurs confirmed the Australian’s departure after just two seasons in charge.

A dreadful Premier League campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job, with Tottenham finishing 17th after losing 22 matches.

Thomas Tuchel sends respect to Ange Postecoglou after Tottenham exit

With Postecoglou now out of the picture, England manager Thomas Tuchel has sent a message of respect and sympathy to the former Tottenham boss.

Having himself endured sackings during his managerial career, Tuchel understands the pressure and uncertainty that comes with the job.

Speaking to BBC Sport, the German said: “I feel for every manager and I have huge sympathy for every manager. I was in the same spot, and it feels horrible. I have the biggest respect for him, he has huge character. He said he will deliver the trophy in the second year and he did.

“But this is part of the job. We are responsible for the results and the development of the team. Whether we like it or not, sometimes it is we who take the full responsibility for the development that is maybe not at the highest potential.”

Postecoglou’s legacy at Tottenham and future prospects

Being sacked does not necessarily label a manager as a failure, especially at a club like Tottenham, where many predecessors have bounced back stronger.

Managers such as Antonio Conte, who recently secured the Serie A title, and Nuno Espirito Santo, who guided Nottingham Forest to a sixth-place finish, exemplify this.

For Postecoglou, despite the disappointing end, he leaves Spurs having delivered silverware and upheld his promise of a trophy in his second season, preserving his reputation.

Any club that hires him next will expect similar success, given his proven track record. Tottenham supporters will remember the moments of joy he brought after a long wait for a trophy, and they will wish him well in his next challenge, grateful for the memories and the progress he helped achieve.

Leroy Sane has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but the transfer story has now taken an unexpected twist and that man Jose Mourinho is involved.

Tottenham are on the lookout for a new winger, and one player who is said to have caught their eye is former Manchester City star Leroy Sane.

One week ago, it was reported that Spurs were growing increasingly confident of signing Sane, and ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea in the queue, both of whom were interested in the German.

However, a recent report stated Spurs would not meet Sane’s financial demands. The 29-year-old is currently on a £300,000 per week contract, which is £110,000 more than Heung-min Son, the club’s best-paid player.

Tottenham are not looking to sign Leroy Sane

Despite a number of stories linking Sane to Tottenham, Florian Plettenberg has revealed Spurs are not in the race to sign him.

Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe are willing to pay Sane a net annual salary of up to €15 million (£12.6m). Fellow Turkish club Galatasaray have an offer in the €10–12 million net range. There is also interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, while Arsenal remains a possible destination for Sane.

However, Bayern Munich are hoping to tie Sane down to an extended contract after submitting a modified offer, with a decision expected from him in the coming days.

Spurs must consider alternative options to Leroy Sane

Sane is a good player, but it is unrealistic to expect Tottenham to pay him anything close to his current wage. He registered 11 goals and six assists in the Bundesliga this season.

Brennan Johnson achieved the same number of goals and one fewer assist in the Premier League and he is currently being paid £70,000 a week.

One advantage of signing Sane would be that there is no transfer fee to be paid, but his salary is simply too high when there are better players who would accept a cheaper wage. Spurs will need to look at other options as they look to strengthen in the wide areas this summer.

Tottenham may have pulled the trigger on Ange Postecoglou, but the Australian is already being courted by another Premier League club, barely days after his North London exit.

Ange Postecoglou was denied a third season as Tottenham boss after he was sacked on Friday, 6 June, for performance-related reasons.

The former Spurs boss leaves N17 with a fifth-place Premier League finish in his debut season, and as a European champion in his second, achievements Postecoglou is proud of, as they are firmly on his CV.

Of course, it was not all rosy for the Australian, who also led Tottenham Hotspur to their worst ever Premier League finish, ending his last campaign in 17th place after losing 22 out of 38 matches.

Tottenham begin search for new manager as Ange Postecoglou draws interest

Tottenham are now actively working on securing a replacement for Ange Postecoglou, with Brentford boss Thomas Frank emerging as Spurs’ leading target.

Marco Silva is also appreciated by the hierarchy at Tottenham, and there have even been reports suggesting that Silva is edging closer to agreeing terms with Spurs.

While Tottenham are still yet to finalise their managerial appointment, fresh reports from the Daily Mail indicate that former manager Ange Postecoglou is already being targeted by another Premier League club.

This report comes after it was stated that 24 hours following the Australians’ sacking, Postecoglou has received interest from multiple clubs.

Indeed, this should come as no surprise, as Postecoglou has a proven track record of success wherever he has managed, delivering a piece of silverware in his second season each term.

Postecoglou’s Tottenham legacy remains divisive despite silverware

It is certainly not far-fetched to argue that Ange Postecoglou stands among the more successful managers Tottenham have had in the last decade.

The Australian finally ended Spurs’ 17-year wait for a trophy, lifting the Europa League after a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the final in Bilbao.

That triumph also handed Tottenham their first-ever European trophy, breaking a major silverware drought that had lingered since 1984.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to make a lot of changes at the top this summer, and a fresh report has suggested that these changes could be a prelude to something very exciting.

It has been widely reported over the last few months that there will be major changes at Tottenham this summer, with many of the club’s departments under review.

That is now starting to happen as Ange Postecoglou was relieved of his duties, Ryan Mason left to take over as West Brom’s head coach, and long-serving board member Donna-Maria Cullen stepped down from her role.

A new report indicates that more changes are now on the way over the coming days and suggests that the shake-up could be followed by fresh funds being pumped into the club.

Biggest shake-up of the ENIC era expected at Tottenham Hotspur

The Telegraph have now claimed that Spurs are facing the biggest shake-up of the ENIC era, with many more significant departures expected this summer.

Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Tottenham on Friday, but he is not the only one, with reports stating that chief football officer Scott Munn’s future is in doubt after Vinai Venkatesham started work as the club’s new CEO this week.

There are also said to be question marks over the future of Tottenham’s operations and finance director, Matthew Collecott, with the shake-up expected to be far-reaching.

Thomas Frank has his eye on the Tottenham job for years – and now, a former colleague has let slip just how long that ambition has been brewing behind the scenes.

Thomas Frank has certainly impressed since he moved to the Premier League, as the Danish manager has kept the London side competitive in the English top flight, leading them to two top-half finishes in the last three seasons.

The 51-year-old manager has continued to raise his stock, with Tottenham now linked with a move to appoint Thomas Frank following the sacking of former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

Thomas Frank is well-liked by the Spurs hierarchy, with reports revealing that direct talks have already taken place with the Dane, as discussions over the club’s long-term project have been held.

Thomas Frank has joked about joining Tottenham for years

Brian Riemer, who previously worked alongside Thomas Frank at Brentford, has now revealed that the Brentford manager has been talking about joining Tottenham Hotspur for years.

Riemer stated that while they were at Brentford together, there were regular jokes between them about taking over at Tottenham one day – a club both held in high regard.

Speaking to Tipsbladet, Riemer said: “Tottenham has always been my favourite club. At Brentford, we always joked that if we were going to move on from Brentford, it would be for Tottenham.

“It is a club that has had some challenges over the past season and there is quite a bit of work ahead of them. But Thomas deserves that chance. He has done a fantastic job.”

Spurs prepared to pay £10m to land Frank from Brentford

Indeed, a deal between Tottenham and Brentford could soon be wrapped up, with reports suggesting that an agreement may be finalised in the coming week.

Tottenham are expected to pay a £10 million compensation fee to prise Thomas Frank away from Brentford – a figure that is not believed to be an obstacle in negotiations.

Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande claims to have spoken to the representatives of one Premier League striker about the rumours of an impending offer from Tottenham Hotspur.

Various reliable sources have said that Spurs are ready to listen to offers for Richarlison this summer and are expected to enter the market for a new striker to compete with Dominic Solanke.

It was previously reported that Tottenham had set their sights on Rodrigo Muniz, who found the back of the net 11 times at Craven Cottage during the 2024-25 season.

Just a few days ago, GiveMeSport claimed that Spurs are ready to push ahead with an offer for Muniz, revealing that the Lilywhites will have to pay £50m to land the Brazilian this summer.

Negotiations with Tottenham denied by Rodrigo Muniz’s camp

Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande has now taken to social media to provide an update on the 24-year-old’s future and has revealed that rumours of an impending move from Spurs are exaggerated.

In fact, Casagrande claims that Muniz’s entourage have denied that Tottenham have even started negotiations with Fulham regarding the striker.

Interestingly, he also revealed that the forward’s former club, Flamengo, would be owed 25 per cent of the fee that the Cottagers receive for the forward, plus an additional fee via FIFA’s solidarity mechanism.

It was previously suggested that Spurs could face competition from Chelsea for Muniz, but it is unclear if the Blues are still interested in the Fulham man, now that they have secured a deal for Liam Delap.

Meanwhile, various publications have said over recent weeks that Marco Silva is one of the leading contenders to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
