TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Tottenham have joined the race to sign a Premier League star Thomas Frank knows really well. Tottenham officially announced Frank as their new manager, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham are interested in signing Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. Cameroon international Mbeumo scored 20 times for the Bees in the Premier League last season. The 25-year-old's former manager at Brentford, Thomas Frank, was named Spurs boss on Thursday.
Brentford set-piece coach Keith Andrews is under consideration by the board. The former Republic of Ireland midfielder has no managerial experience, but is seriously being considered by Brentford chiefs. The Bees had initially identified Justin Cochrane as Frank's successor, but the assistant manager has followed the Dane to Tottenham.
The potential promotion of Andrews aligns with Brentford’s established ethos. When Dean Smith left in 2018, Thomas Frank was promoted from within. That continuity paid off handsomely. Andrews could represent a similar blend of familiarity and innovation — someone who understands the dressing room but can also add new layers tactically.
Thomas Frank leaves Brentford as an established Premier League outfit after moving to Tottenham following a seven-year stint with the Bees.
