Frank Could Target Tottenham Stars if He Lands Crystal Palace Job
Thomas Frank, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, is being strongly linked with the vacant Crystal Palace job, and reports suggest he could look to his old club for reinforcements if he gets it.
The Evening Standard reports that Frank is the frontrunner to replace Pierre Sage at Selhurst Park, with the Dane having been out of work since leaving Tottenham (Evening Standard). Spurs Web goes further, naming Frank as the favourite for the role with Sage "on the verge of being sacked" (Spurs Web).
On the transfer front, Football.London suggests Frank could raid Tottenham for up to four players as he looks to build his squad for a Premier League return (Football.London). Spurs Web is more specific, naming five Tottenham players who could be targeted, including Wilson Odobert among those Frank is said to be eyeing (Spurs Web).
For Tottenham fans, the story is one to watch closely given Frank's inside knowledge of the current Spurs squad from his time in charge. Both Football.London and the Evening Standard frame it as Frank potentially using that familiarity to his advantage should he take the Palace reins (Football.London) (Evening Standard).
With no appointment confirmed yet, this remains speculation at this stage, but it is worth noting Tottenham Women face Crystal Palace Women on Wednesday 11 November, a fixture that sits alongside this managerial and transfer intrigue involving the two clubs [A].
