TBR Football understands that Thomas Frank has met with Tottenham Hotspur on more than one occasion to discuss the possibility of replacing Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham have assessed numerous options, but the Brentford boss has impressed a number of the North London club’s hierarchy, not just chairman Daniel Levy.

A decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future is expected to arrive this week and at this stage, TBR Football’s sources believe he is likely to be relieved of his duties.

The Danish manager is now in the driving seat to get the job at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following several rounds of tasks with Spurs’ hierarchy.

Thomas Frank’s name keeps coming up at Tottenham

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has exclusively told the site that Thomas Frank’s name keeps being mentioned by multiple sources as a frontrunner for the Tottenham job.

Meanwhile, Brentford fear they will lose Frank to the Lilywhites as the 51-year-old seems to have impressed their London counterparts.

Bailey told TBR Football: “Frank has always been in the mix – I am told he was one of the first names on Daniel Levy’s list.

“But in the last two weeks, he is the name that is coming up from so many different sources, it just can’t be ignored and there is little push back. Brentford are not saying much either – I believe they really fear they could be losing him.”

Frank has been called ‘amazing’, and it’s easy to see why, given the job he has done making the Bees a regular fixture in the Premier League.

Tottenham have been impressed by Frank’s ability to work with young players and develop them into top Premier League stars.

Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins are among his most impressive player developments during his time in West London.

Why Thomas Frank could face tricky start at Tottenham

Frank would be right up against it at Tottenham if he were to take the job, as he would be taking over from the very popular Postecoglou.

The 59-year-old has just helped Spurs to end their 17-year wait for a trophy and is highly regarded by the players and supporters.

The Dane would need to make a quick impact on the playing squad as players like Cristian Romero could push to leave following Postecoglou’s potential departure.
