Yoane Wissa believes Thomas Frank is ready to take the next step in his career, but warns that moving to a bigger club like Tottenham Hotspur comes with its own challenges.

Tottenham Hotspur are now edging closer to securing the services of Thomas Frank, as it is reported that a deal could be completed in the next 48 hours.

Should everything go as planned, then Thomas Frank would be gearing up to be the 16th manager to take charge of Spurs since Daniel Levy’s time as chairman.

The Brentford manager would be tasked with the job of taking Tottenham up the Premier League table, after the Lilywhites finished last season in 17th place, ten places below his Brentford side.

Yoane Wissa shares thoughts on Thomas Frank’s potential Tottenham move

Brentford forward and Tottenham target Yoane Wissa, who grabbed 19 goals in the Premier League last season, has now opened up on how he thinks Frank would do at a bigger club.

Indeed, this comes following strong links between Frank and Spurs, and Wissa believes that his manager is ready for the step up to a bigger Premier League side.

However, the forward was also quick to highlight a few issues that the 51-year-old manager would have to overcome, as he states that the ego in the Tottenham dressing room could be an issue.

He said on the Obi One Podcast last month: “Yes, he is that good. I think it will just be the ego, I think that is the only thing in a big club. You need to be able to deal with egos, because at Brentford no one has an ego. It is easier for him to manage.

“Everyone is willing to work hard. In the big clubs, if you do not perform well you do not get time. I think it is the next stop for him though, because he has shown he is capable.”

Can Thomas Frank manage the egos at Spurs?

Of course, Wissa raises a few good points about dealing with egos at a big club, and while that could be an issue, it is important to note that young managers have often made such a jump.

Enzo Maresca made a significant leap from managing at Leicester City in the Championship to taking charge of Chelsea last season, and so did Vincent Kompany, who went from Burnley to Bayern Munich.

New claims have poured cold water on reports that Thomas Frank has already agreed to become the new Tottenham boss, despite a ‘here we go’ from Fabrizio Romano.

Tottenham Hotspur are still without a manager since they sacked Ange Postecoglou on Friday, 6 June, after his two seasons as Spurs boss.

This morning, we reported that Tottenham’s search had come to an end, following an update from Fabrizio Romano, who appended his famous ‘here we go’ to the Thomas Frank to Spurs deal.

The Italian journalist stated that an agreement between Spurs and Frank had been reached on contract terms and staff, and that Brentford are expected to release Frank for a fee in the region of £10m.

Thomas Frank deal not yet agreed between Tottenham and Brentford

However, a new report from Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas now claims that an agreement between Brentford and Spurs for Frank has not been reached yet.

According to the reporter, it is understood that talks are expected to continue this morning over compensation, as several backroom staff are also under discussion, including Justin Cochrane.

His tweet on X reads: “An agreement between Brentford and Tottenham for Thomas Frank has not been reached yet. Talks are expected to continue this morning over compensation, with several backroom staff also under discussion, including Justin Cochrane.”

Spurs still expected to finalise Frank deal this week

Indeed, it is only a matter of time before Spurs finalise their deal with Brentford over a fee for Frank, which is expected to be in the region of £10m.

Frank himself is open to a move to Tottenham, as it has since been reported that personal terms have been reached between Spurs and Thomas Frank.

Tottenham and Thomas Frank have already drawn up a transfer plan for the summer window, with key targets and positions agreed before the managerial appointment is even confirmed.

Thomas Frank’s move to Tottenham Hotspur is nearing its completion, with reports over the past few days stating that an agreement has been reached with the Dane and an announcement could be made later this week.

Tottenham have not been active in the summer window in recent days and have already missed out on a couple of transfer targets, including Liam Delap, whom Chelsea managed to sign ahead of Spurs earlier in the window.

Johnny Cardoso could also be heading elsewhere, despite Tottenham holding a £21 million option to buy the Real Betis midfielder, with Atletico Madrid already submitting a bid for the American international.

Tottenham and Thomas Frank agree on transfer targets and summer budget

Tottenham will hope to seal a deal for their new manager before making new acquisitions this summer, and recent reports have confirmed that other elements have already been agreed upon with Frank.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that there is an agreement between Tottenham and Thomas Frank on the overall project.

The salary of the Dane, as well as the length of his contract, have all been agreed as Spurs work to complete a deal in the coming days.

According to Romano, it is also understood that an agreement has been reached on the budget, the positions, and the players Frank would look to target once the deal is finalised between both parties.

Spurs transfer plan includes marquee signing and potential Brentford reunion

Of course, finalising a deal with Thomas Frank is what has been top of the bucket list at Tottenham, which explains their lack of activity in the summer window so far.

A deal with the 51-year-old is now close to completion, which means the Lilywhites would now turn their attention back to on-field matters.

It has long been reported that Tottenham are looking to make additions in defence, midfield, and attack this summer.

It was also claimed that a marquee signing is on the agenda for the Lilywhites, who are said to be considering a move for either Jack Grealish or Eberechi Eze.

Rumours also suggest that Frank could reunite with two Brentford stars, with reports claiming that a move for Nathan Collins and Bryan Mbeumo is one the Dane would like Tottenham to pursue.

Still, nothing has been finalised, and with the window now shut until it reopens on the 16th, Spurs fans will need to be patient before seeing any signings completed.

Thomas Frank is set to replace Ange Postecoglou as the new Spurs head coach after Fabrizio Romano’s ‘here we go’ update.

Another managerial appointment has long been expected at Tottenham Hotspur this week, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou after only two seasons.

Tottenham Hotspur have had several managers on their shortlist, including former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, Fulham manager Marco Silva, Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, and Brentford head coach Thomas Frank.

Frank has long been considered the frontrunner to land the Spurs job, according to multiple reports, with talks between Thomas Frank and Daniel Levy said to have been progressing well.

Thomas Frank is on the verge of being confirmed as Tottenham head coach

Yesterday, it was revealed by The Athletic that Spurs had made official contact with Brentford and that a deal with Frank would be finalised in the next 48 hours.

Fabrizio Romano has now given a further update and has appended his famous ‘here we go’ to the Thomas Frank and Spurs deal.

According to the journalist, it is understood that an agreement is done with Thomas Frank on contract terms and staff, and that Brentford are set to release Frank for a fee in the region of £10m.

Thomas Frank to become 16th Tottenham manager under Daniel Levy

An official announcement by Tottenham Hotspur has not been made, but it has long been reported that a deadline for the Thomas Frank announcement has been set for this week by Spurs.

The Danish manager is now set to become the 16th manager under Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in the last 24 years.

It certainly is a big jump for the former Brentford man, who is now managing a “big six club” for the first time in his career, after an impressive spell at Brentford, where he led them to two top-half finishes in the last three seasons.

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.
