Tottenham are on the verge of appointing Thomas Frank as their new manager, but despite speculation, they are not expected to pursue one of his most trusted Brentford players, Bryan Mbeumo.
Should Tottenham Hotspur complete the signing of their preferred managerial target, Thomas Frank, that could open the floodgates for more transfer activity, as Spurs are yet to complete any new signings, since they announced the permanent purchase of Kevin Danso, after his winter loan spell.
It was recently revealed that during talks with Daniel Levy, Thomas Frank made a demand to be involved in the process of signing players, even though the club would ultimately decide who joins Tottenham and who does not.
Several reports have already surfaced regarding Frank’s first transfer request, with rumours stating that the Brentford manager has asked for Tottenham to bring one of his key stars along with him, Bryan Mbeumo.

Tottenham unlikely to pursue Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo
The Daily Mail has now confirmed what we know by stating that Tottenham are closing in on a deal to sign Thomas Frank as their new head coach.
However, the publication has now revealed that reports of Bryan Mbeumo following the Dane to Hotspur Way are very unlikely.
It is claimed that the likelihood of Tottenham entering the race for Brentford forward Bryan Mbuemo is minimal, as he has been closely linked with a move to Manchester United.

It is claimed that any idea of Spurs looking to hijack the deal from Manchester United is highly unlikely at this time, even with Thomas Frank on board.
Spurs remain active in the summer transfer market
Regardless of whether Tottenham go for Bryan Mbeumo or not, the Lilywhites are still expected to be busy this summer window.
It has been stated that Tottenham are keen on landing a marquee signing and that Spurs hold interest in signing Grealish from Manchester City.
It has also been revealed that three positions are set to be strengthened this summer and that five new faces could be expected at Hotspur Way this window.
With a few months still left in the summer window, it would be interesting to see who the Lilywhites sign.
