Bryan Mbeumo signs – Three Brentford stars who could join Frank at Tottenham
Tottenham appear to be on the verge of appointing Thomas Frank, in what would be one of the most significant managerial switches of the summer.
With the highly-rated Dane set to take the reins in North London, speculation is mounting over which of his trusted Brentford lieutenants could follow him across the capital to bolster the Spurs squad.
His expected arrival at Tottenham will herald a new era, and it’s highly probable he will seek to bring in players who already understand his tactical philosophy and work ethic.
While Spurs boast a strong squad, Frank will undoubtedly have specific targets in mind to mould the team to his vision and compete at the highest level, including the Champions League again.
Here, Tottenham News looks at three players who could follow Frank to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:
Bryan Mbeumo
Bryan Mbeumo is one of the most obvious candidates to follow Frank to Tottenham.
The versatile Cameroonian international has flourished under Frank’s guidance at Brentford, developing into a potent attacking force in the Premier League.
Known for his blistering pace, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing, Mbeumo has consistently delivered goals and assists, making him a nightmare for opposition defenders.
His ability to play across the front line, whether as a wide forward or a central striker, would offer Frank valuable tactical flexibility.
Mbeumo has been the subject of intense transfer speculation recently, with reports indicating that Manchester United had emerged as his preferred destination.
The prospect of reuniting with Frank at Tottenham, however, could significantly sway his opinion.
Brentford would undoubtedly demand a substantial fee for their prized asset, but his proven Premier League quality makes him a justifiable investment.
Nathan Collins
In defence, Nathan Collins stands out as a strong candidate who could be targeted by Frank.
The Republic of Ireland international centre-back joined Brentford from Wolves and quickly established himself as a reliable and commanding presence in the Bees’ backline.
Collins possesses excellent aerial ability, strong tackling, and good composure on the ball, making him a well-rounded modern defender.
Tottenham have been seeking to strengthen their central defence, and Collins’ Premier League experience and adaptability would make him an attractive option.
Under Frank, he has shown an impressive understanding of both a back three and a four, offering the tactical flexibility that the potential new Spurs manager often employs.
With Cristian Romero potentially on the way out too, this could be a perfect replacement.
Yoane Wissa
Yoane Wissa is another Brentford attacker who has consistently impressed under Frank and could be a prime target for Tottenham.
The DR Congo international possesses electrifying pace, clever movement, and a knack for scoring crucial goals.
| Club | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Brentford | 149 | 49 | 13 |
Wissa’s ability to run in behind defences and exploit spaces would add another dimension to Spurs’ attack, especially alongside Mbeumo in the final third.
He’s also known for his relentless pressing, a trait that aligns perfectly with Frank’s high-intensity approach.
For Tottenham, acquiring Wissa would provide depth and a different profile to their existing attacking options, ensuring they have ample firepower and dynamism to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League.
His experience in Frank’s system would allow for a quicker adaptation period, making him a valuable asset from day one.
Daniel Levy could be set for a massive summer of spending, however silly that may sound at first.
