Tottenham ready to fight Man United for Bryan Mbeumo amid Thomas Frank talks

Tottenham are not only circling Thomas Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou – they are now looking to hijack Manchester United’s £60m move for Bryan Mbeumo, with Brentford already preparing for life without both men.

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer has stalled slightly, with off-field matters needing resolution before they can properly flex their muscles in the transfer market.

The most pressing of those has been the search for a new head coach, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.
