Thomas Frank wants two Brentford stars to join him at Tottenham
Thomas Frank has recently joined Tottenham Hotspur to replace Ange Postecoglou as their new head coach.
The Danish boss performed an excellent job at Brentford, but left to join Spurs for a fresh challenge.
Frank has already started preparations for rebuilding the Lilywhites’ squad, as he is targeting two players from his former club.
According to The Guardian, the 51-year-old is seeking a reunion with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoanne Wissa in North London.
Mbeumo enjoyed a stellar 2024-25 Premier League campaign, registering 20 goals and seven assists in 38 matches.
Brentford are reportedly open to selling Mbeumo for £60 million, but Tottenham face huge competition from rivals Manchester United for the 25-year-old.
United appear to have an advantage in terms of wages, as they are willing to offer the winger a salary package worth around £200,000-a-week.
Spurs are unlikely to match that figure, but they will hope Frank’s relationship with the Cameroon international will persuade him to join.
Tottenham are also considering a move for Wissa, who has been on the books of Brentford since 2021.
The Bees are expected to demand a fee around £40m for the 28-year-old, who has a year left on his current contract with an option for another 12 months.
Wissa was also a key player for Brentford last season, scoring 19 goals in 35 league appearances.
Nottingham Forest tried to sign the forward in January and remain keen to secure his services this summer.
