Tottenham close to agreement with Brentford over Thomas Frank appointment

Tottenham are moving closer to reaching an agreement with Brentford over compensation to make Thomas Frank their new head coach, but talks will enter a third day, the PA news agency understands.

Spurs sacked Ange Postecoglou on Friday – 16 days after he led them to Europa League success – and quickly set their sights on Frank.

After positive initial talks over the weekend, confidence started to grow on Monday that Frank would be the man to replace Postecoglou and Tottenham made an official approach to their Premier League rivals later in the day.
