Tottenham are closing in on appointing Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their new head coach by the weekend.
Talks between the clubs are ongoing, but have progressed positively amid a growing expectation Frank could even be confirmed in the next 48 hours as Ange Postecoglou's successor.
Discussions are understood to be amicable and there is a will from all parties to conclude the agreement quickly.
BBC Sport understands that recently appointed Spurs chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, who only started work last Monday, has been involved in the process of appointing Frank, alongside chairman Daniel Levy.
Brentford are entitled to compensation for the 51-year-old Frank, who joined them from Brondby in 2018, with sources indicating it will cost Tottenham £10m to release him from his current contract.
That amount could rise based upon how many members of staff the Dane decides to bring with him.
