Spurs close in on Frank as next head coach

Image caption, Thomas Frank has been at Brentford since 2018Tottenham 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.
