Soon-to-be Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has encouraged the club’s hierarchy to pursue a bid to sign Bryan Mbeumo.

Frank is set to be announced as Spurs’ new head coach next week following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou had been expected to keep his job after steering Tottenham to the Europa League title, but club chairman Daniel Levy decided to pull the trigger on Friday, citing the side’s worst-ever domestic campaign as the reason for his departure.

The north London outfit are keen to make a ‘statement signing’ to lead them into next season’s Champions League and Mbeumo finds himself at the top of their wishlist.

Mbeumo has, of course, built up a strong relationship with Frank over the last six years at Brentford, while scoring 70 goals in 242 appearances for the Bees.
