Thomas Frank insists he is enjoying life at Brentford despite featuring on Aston Villa’s list of possible replacements for Steven Gerrard.
Even though the Bees were beaten 4-0 at Villa Park, Frank is admired by Villa – led here by caretaker boss Aaron Danks – for the fine job he has done at Brentford, and has a long-standing friendship with Villa sporting director Johan Lange.
Yet Brentford are hopeful Frank will sign a new deal with them, which would secure a huge pay rise.
‘There are a lot of rumours out there and Villa is a great club in many ways, but I’m pleased to be at Brentford and I have unfinished business here,’ said Frank.
