ACCORDING to reports innie UK, Brentford manager Thomas Frank is the man Tottenham have targeted to replace Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou was dismissed after two seasons in charge last Friday despite ending Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.

Frank, who has been in charge of the Bees since 2018, led Brentford back to the top flight in 2021 after an absence of 74 years and has established the west London club in the Premier League.

Hiring the Dane, whose contract runs until 2027, would cost Spurs around £10 million in compensation.

Frank began his coaching career in the youth set-up of the Danish national team before a three-year stint at Brondby.

He initially joined Brentford as an assistant coach before stepping to replace Dean Smith, when he left to join Aston Villa.

Since then, Frank has established the Bees as a competitive Premier League force.
