THOMAS FRANK has agreed to become the new Tottenham manager.
SunSport understands that following talks over the weekend, the Brentford boss is set to replace Ange Postecoglou imminently.
Frank, 51, wants to make the switch across London which will end his near-seven year spell with the Bees.
The only matter left to discuss is the compensation package that chairman Daniel Levy must pay to G-Tech stadium chiefs.
Spurs brutally sacked Postecoglou on Friday despite the Aussie ending their 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League last month.
And Levy is moving quickly to appoint the Dane, who guided Brentford to a 10th place Premier League finish this season.
Fulham manager Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola have been in the running but Frank is expected to become the fourth permanent Tottenham boss in the last four years.
Frank joined Brentford in 2018 and after promotion to the top-flight less than three years later, he has made them an established Prem club.
The Dane already wants to bring Bryan Mbuemo, 25, with him to North London with Spurs trying to hijack Manchester United’s proposed deal for the Cameroonian winger.
Although that could cost Levy up to £70million with a possible £10m compensation package for Frank, plus £60m for Mbuemo’s services.
That would test Totteham’s financial power, especially as Mbuemo is thought to be demanding around £250,000 per-week in wages, which would make him the club’s highest-paid player.
But Spurs’ victory over United in Bilbao does mean they can offer him Champions League football.
Frank will also be tasked with a significant improvement in the Premier League following Tottenham’s worst ever finish.
Despite Postecoglou’s European success, he oversaw a club-record 22 Prem defeats, which resulted in them coming 17th.
