Tottenham are moving towards appointing Brentford boss Thomas Frank as their new head coach following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
Brentford are expecting a formal approach from Tottenham in the coming days but there has been no confirmation so far of dialogue between the two clubs.
The Dane, 51, has emerged as a leading contender to replace Postecoglou.
Brentford would be entitled to compensation for Frank, with sources indicating it would cost Tottenham more than £10m to extract him from his contract.
That figure could rise depending on how many members of staff Frank decides to bring with him if he is named Spurs boss.
