Levy claims Spurs are looking for a £9m upgrade on Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur are a club in very difficult form recently, which puts a huge amount of pressure on the shoulders of the boss Ange Postecoglou.

Just a few weeks ago, his Spurs side went to the Etihad, beating Manchester City 4-0 and looking a real threat, needing to build on that performance to keep their top four hopes alive.

However, since that victory on November 23, Lillebell are without a win in all competitions, dropping to 11th. Premier League table as a result.

Draws against Roma, Fulham and Rangers and defeats against Bournemouth and Chelsea have led to questions being asked about the Aussies’ long-term future, which could potentially lead to a change in the next few months.

It should Daniel Levy decide to pull the trigger, there is one name already said to be on the club’s shortlist to replace the 59-year-old in north London.

Tottenham are targeting the Premier League boss to replace Postecoglou

According to TEAMtalk, West Ham United could face competition from Spurs regarding the arrival agreement for the Brentford boss Thomas Frank if Postecoglou is unable to reverse his recent slump in form.

The 51-year-old has been in charge of the Bees since October 2018, leading them to the Premier League, before transforming them into an established top-flight outfit.

A TEAMtalk report claims the club’s hierarchy are great admirers of the Danegiven his ability to play good football and work on a tight budget, but still manages to get the best out of his players – as seen with the Bees, given their current position in ninth place.

However, the Telegraph previously reported that he has £9 million release clause in his contractand it remains to be seen whether Levy would launch a business at such a high price.

If they decide to move for the current Bees boss, it would allow one member of the first team to progress in north London while also securing an upgrade for the former Celtic manager.

A player who would benefit from Franco’s potential arrival

Reduced international Dejan Kulusevski was the player who took his game to the next level during 2024/25, becoming arguably the club’s most important talent over Heung-min Son.

The 24-year-old has operated in a variety of positions such as attacking midfield or in his regular role on the right, having a huge impact on the Spurs side, unimaginable where they would be without him.

He is registered six combined goals and assists in the Premier League to date, and Frank has taken his career to the next level if he moves to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – which could have a similar impact as he had with Brian Mbeum.

Cameroonian he scored nine goals and registered two assists for the Bees, playing a big part in taking the club to ninth place and boasting the second best result in the division.

Frank would be an upgrade on Ange, bringing a team spirit and unity that has been sorely lacking in the dressing room on the pitch in recent months under the Australian.

The Dane, formerly called “exceptional” by journalist Henry Winter, has scored more points from the current Spurs boss in England’s top flight during the 2024/25 season – also losing fewer matches in the process.

Such a record has seen him rack up more points per game than the 59-year-old, with the £9m fee being touted for his services well worth it for the quality of manager they would be getting in the process.

Fans are undoubtedly tired of their inconsistent results and performances, and a change is potentially coming in the near future.

Postecoglou is a manager under huge pressure, desperate to get a result against Southampton on Sunday night on the south coast.
