Tottenham are reportedly keen on signing one of Thomas Frank's former Brentford stars, but Arsenal are on the attack to ensure the Spurs boss fails with a second Bees raid.

The Tottenham Hotspur players are set to return in stages to begin their pre-season training under Thomas Frank in around a fortnight's time as the Dane's era at the club begins. The 51-year-old was appointed as the Spurs head coach on a three-year contract last week and for the first time in three pre-seasons it will be a different man leading the way for the players as they return to summer training at Hotspur Way in the wake of Ange Postecoglou's exit after two years in charge.
