Brentford immediately block Thomas Frank from poaching unexpected player to take to Spurs

Brentford have made their feelings about letting one of their star players join Tottenham Hotspur after Thomas Frank's move was confirmed.

Just two weeks after he led them to victory in the Europa League final against Manchester United, Spurs announced that they had sacked manager Ange Postecoglu.

It was later confirmed that former Brentford boss Frank would take over in the Spurs dugout, instantly sparking rumours regarding which players the Dane might hope to bring to his new club.

However, there is one star player that it appears Brentford are absolutely adamant will not be leaving the club this summer, regardless of any potential offers from Spurs or any other club.

Shortly after Spurs revealed Frank as their new manager, news broke that star forward Bryan Mbeumo was considering joining his former boss despite interest from Manchester United.

A report from the The Mirror later claimed that Spurs have already submitted a massive bid for the winger £65million plus £5million in add-ons, viewing his as a statement signing.

But Mbeumo isn't the only Brentford player that the Frank may look to sign in the summer, as reports have suggested that Spurs have bookmarked Christian Norgaard as a potential signing in their hunt for a new number six.

The Brentford captain was a key player for Frank in recent years and could act as the perfect replacement for Yves Bissouma who is likely to leave Spurs this summer.

However, it appears that Brentford will not be willing to let the 31-year-old go easily, as they recently tied him down with a new two-year contract, complicating a move to Spurs.

Speaking about the situation on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold said: "It’s a shame (Christian) Norgaard signed a new contract in March, because I think Frank will want a number six.

“I think that’s what he’ll really want for his system and he loves, loves Norgaard, he sees him as a lynchpin midfielder but also a real captain, a proper leader type in that dressing room.

“At 31, he’s not the age profile Spurs would go for either, but I think he was quite an underrated player last season in the Premier League. But I just wonder whether that new contract messes up that idea.”
