The book has been closed on Thomas Frank becoming the new Tottenham manager with Brentford in talks with Spurs after he emerged as the club's first choice to replace Ange Postecoglou.

Premier League ultimately sealing his fate.

Since reports emerged earlier this year that Postecoglou was likely to leave in the summer, Frank has been favourite with the bookies. He was as short as 2/9 when bookies stopped taking bets, with Fulham boss Marco Silva (5/2) the only other manager priced in single figures.

Frank has been Brentford manager for almost seven years, taking the club into the top flight in 2021 and establishing them as a strong mid-table side.

The 51-year-old was previously linked with vacancies at both Aston Villa and Manchester United before those clubs settled on the appointments of Unai Emery and Ruben Amorim respectively.

According to widespread reports he has a release clause of around £10m in his contract, with Tottenham's triggering of that now merely an inevitability.
