Succession planning begins at BrentfordBrentford are drawing up contingency plans as head coach Thomas Frank edges closer to a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur. Sources indicate Ipswich Town boss

* Brentford made their record sale when Al-Ahli signed striker Ivan Toney for £40m in the summer of 2024; they spent £30m of that on the most expensive signing in their history in Igor Thiago, who played 169 minutes of 2024/25 due to injury, yet the Bees enjoyed their best goal return in a single top-flight season post-Second World War in 2024/25.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has emerged as Tottenham's leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou as manager. Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that Spurs are strongly interested in Frank and that initial work has been already been undertaken to enquire about his availability.
