Seven Tottenham winners and losers if Thomas Frank becomes manager ...Middle East

News by : (inews) -

Frank looks increasingly likely to take over from Ange Postecoglou, with Tottenham willing to pay £10m to take him off Brentford’s hands.

Frank has also helped shape the careers of several players, with Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney, David Raya and Ollie Watkins, among others, establishing themselves in the top flight and becoming full internationals.

Here are the potential winners and losers from Frank’s arrival.

Brentford launched a club-record £35m bid for Brennan Johnson when he was at Nottingham Forest, but missed out with Tottenham eventually paying £47.5m for him on deadline day of the 2023 summer transfer window.

The winger hasn’t been universally popular among fans, though, facing criticism for offering too little besides goals (yes, really). Frank is clearly a fan of Johnson’s talents, though, and the Welshman should remain a key figure.

Copy and paste. Brentford offered Leeds United £35m for Archie Gray last summer, only for Spurs to swoop in and buy him for £30m, with the £10m-rated Joe Rodon sent to Elland Road in exchange.

A point of contention among Spurs fans with Postecoglou during the second half of last season was his limited use of Grey after more experienced players returned from injury. Perhaps Frank would find a more regular spot for him in his favoured midfield role.

There can be no higher praise for an attacking Premier League full-back than being compared to Real Madrid’s newest galactico Trent Alexander-Arnold, the competition’s leading assist provider (with 64) from defence by the age of 26.

The 20-year-old didn’t particularly set the world alight during his half-season loan from Bayern Munich, scoring three goals (one from open play) and assisting one more in 20 appearances in all competitions.

Radu Dragusin

Any switch to a defensive three would surely benefit Radu Dragusin (and possibly Kevin Danso). Dragusin is less accomplished on the ball than Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven, but is quick and aggressive and could be an ideal sweeper between the two.

Losers

At 28, Richarlison’s room for development is less than Johnson, Tel, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore. And as a striker, Richarlison isn’t really a target man in the Toney (or Dominic Solanke) mould and lacks the subtlety of Wissa.

An unsung hero of the win in Bilbao, Richarlison could still have a part to play, but would he be happy with a squad role at this stage in his career?

Brentford’s central midfield last season contained an all-action general (Christian Norgaard), an energetic off-the-ball runner (Yehor Yarmoliuk), and a silky playmaker (Mikkel Damsgaard).

Capable of brilliance in one-off games, Bissouma has struggled for consistency in a Spurs shirt and has been linked with a move to Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
