‘Frank to get rid of Richarlison and Dragusin in brutal Tottenham clear-out’
Thomas Frank is the early frontrunner to take over from Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
The Dane has been fantastic at Brentford, where he has turned the Bees into a mid-table Premier League club.
It is believed that Frank is eager to join Tottenham after talks were held.
If the 51-year-old does join Spurs, he will need to overhaul their squad after a terrible Premier League campaign.
Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur News has looked at three players Frank has to sell this summer transfer window.
Richarlison
Richarlison has struggled to perform at Tottenham since his move to London in 2022.
The Brazilian international has only netted 20 times across three seasons, with five coming in the 2024/25 campaign.
As a result, Richarlison has been linked away from Spurs in recent weeks as the London club looks to bring back some of the money they spent on the attacker.
| Richarlison’s Tottenham career | |
| Appearances | 90 |
| Goals | 20 |
| Assists | 10 |
| Honours | Europa League x1 |
Now, Frank needs to make sure this becomes a reality. The Brazilian is simply not clinical enough to be in the squad.
If Tottenham have serious aspirations about returning to the top six, they cannot have players like Richarlison in the squad who offer little to nothing in attack.
Yves Bissouma
Another player who massively underperformed in the 2024/25 campaign was Yves Bissouma.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful had plenty of optimism when the midfielder joined from Brighton in 2022.
However, the Malian international has never hit the heights of his Seagull performances at the London club.
With the 28-year-old’s contract set to expire next summer, Bissouma has been linked with a departure.
Frank would be wise to sell the midfielder as there is every chance he could leave on a free next summer.
This, combined with the fact that Bissouma is out of form, makes it an easy decision for the Dane.
Radu Dragusin
While Radu Dragusin only joined Tottenham in January 2024, the Romanian has struggled to perform.
The centre-back was a regular in Spurs’ defence this season before he picked up an ACL injury at the start of 2025.
However, in his 16 Premier League appearances this season, the 23-year-old did not impress and was part of a backline that was shipping multiple goals a game.
In the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea, Dragusin was slammed as he was told that he wasn’t good enough for the Premier League.
Recently, Dragusin has been linked with a departure just 18 months after signing for Spurs. Now, Frank must ensure this happens.
The Romanian is clearly not good enough for the English top-flight, and despite his potential, Tottenham should look to cash in.
On top of this, Dragusin’s recent injury could end up setting back the defender even further, which would make him a bigger liability next season.
