Thomas Frank is yet to be confirmed as Tottenham boss, but the 51-year-old has already given the green light to a move for a marquee signing.
Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to completing the appointment of Brentford manager Thomas Frank, with an announcement expected in the coming days.
As such, transfer rumours surrounding Tottenham have started to heat up ahead of the Dane’s appointment, with several outlets reporting that Frank has started to communicate his transfer targets with Spurs.
It was revealed that Thomas Frank would be part of the transfer process at Tottenham, but he would not have the final say, with the club ultimately deciding who to pursue or avoid.

Frank is said to be keen on bringing Bryan Mbeumo with him to Spurs, according to some reports, but it has also been stated that a move for Mbeumo is unlikely, as he is in talks with Manchester United.
GIVEMESPORT are now reporting that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is being urged by Thomas Frank to land Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze if Spurs cannot win the race to strike a deal for Bryan Mbeumo.
It is understood that the 51-year-old is on board with the prospect of Spurs pushing hard in their pursuit of Eze, especially if they are beaten to Mbeumo’s services and are forced to turn their attentions towards alternative targets.
Spurs weighing up Eze deal as United circle Mbeumo
Eberechi Eze is said to have a release clause of £68 million, which means any side that matches that clause is free to enter into talks with the winger, a move Crystal Palace can do little to hamper.
Mbeumo, on the other hand, is being priced at about £50 million, as Brentford rejected United’s offer within that price range, with reports now claiming that a £60 million bid is being prepared by the Manchester club.
Mbeumo outperformed Eze in terms of goals last season, with the Cameroon international grabbing 20 in the league, while Eze managed eight goals and eight assists in 34 appearances – four fewer than Mbeumo.
While United are frontrunners to land Mbeumo, Tottenham are reported to be hoping that Thomas Frank can help persuade the wide forward to make the switch to north London.
