“Many players” at Tottenham think Thomas Frank is “not the right fit” as the Spurs head coach nears the sack, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

Spurs took their recent poor form to a new low over the weekend as they lost 2-1 at home to London rivals West Ham, who are in the relegation zone.

The Hammers had not won a Premier League match since November 8 before rocking up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Callum Wilson scoring an injury-time winner to give Nuno Espirito Santo’s side all three points.

There had already been pressure on Frank heading into the match against West Ham with Tottenham winning once in their last eight matches in all competitions.

Spurs are now 14th in the Premier League table and various reports are claiming that Frank is ‘on the brink’ of being sacked by the Tottenham hierarchy.

And now Ornstein of The Athletic, who is one of the most reliable journalists around, insists that there is a feeling that “it’s a matter of when, not if, he will go”.

Speaking on his Instagram story, Ornstein said: “It’s a critical situation for Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur. As things stand, he remains in position, and Tottenham play in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. So, possibly he gets to take charge of that.

“There is still a lot of goodwill behind Thomas Frank internally at Tottenham, they want him to succeed, but I think there is a great deal of realism too. There’s an acceptance that that might not happen, which makes me think it’s a matter of when, not if, he will go.

“Of course, there’s a chance of a dramatic upturn, but I think that’s looking improbable, especially when the fans have turned against him and the hierarchy. Also, from what we hear, many players are understandably dissatisfied, feeling that, not that Thomas Frank is out of his depth, but perhaps he wasn’t the right fit for this job.”

Ornstein later added in The Athletic: ‘Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank is expected to take charge of his team’s game against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday despite mounting uncertainty over his future.

‘The expectation at the club is that he will lead the open training session at 2:15pm on Monday and appear at his press conference at 3:30pm before being in the dugout for Dortmund’s visit to north London.’

When asked about the boos and chants of ‘your getting sacked in the morning’, Tottenham boss Frank replied: “Of course, I probably have had better times. I understand – I’m the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That’s fair, no problem in that sense.

“As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, and we will keep going forward.”

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly settled on Brighton and Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler as their ‘top managerial target’ to replace Thomas Frank.

Frank appears to be on the brink of losing his job as his summer move to Spurs has not worked for anyone involved.

The former Brentford boss was appointed to steady the ship following Ange Postecoglou’s reign, but Spurs supporters have not clicked with their new boss over his uninspiring style of play.

Results and performances have also been dire as the north London outfit have fallen from near the top of the Premier League table to 14th in recent months.

Tottenham hit a new low at the weekend as they suffered an embarrassing 2-1 home loss against relegation-threatened West Ham, with it subsequently reported that Frank is ‘on the brink’ of being sacked.

Spurs are already linked with several potential replacements, including Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino, Xavi and Xabi Alonso.

But a report from Football Insider claims they have ‘set their sights on’ Hurzeler as their ‘top managerial target’ to replace Frank.

The report claims Spurs are ‘edging closer’ to parting ways with Frank, while they are targeting Hurzeler for four reasons.

The report explains:

‘Hurzeler‘s extensive top-level experience despite his young age is seen as a major asset for Spurs as they look to put in place ambitious plans for the future. The German manager has a contract at Brighton until 2027 but could be tempted to take on a new challenge at Tottenham if offered the opportunity.

‘The Texas-born manager has impressed Spurs thanks to the positive work he has done, while he is also a very popular figure among his Brighton players.’

And Frank could be in the frame for a speedy return to management as another report from Football Insider claims Crystal Palace ‘plan to offer’ him a job.

Palace are in the market for a new boss as Oliver Glasner is in the final few months of his contract and has confirmed that he will leave in the summer.

It has been suggested that Glasner could leave before the summer following his bombshell outburst against the board at the weekend, but it has since been revealed that they are keen for him to see out his contract.

Regarding Frank, the report claims: ‘Sources say Frank is seen as the perfect fit at Selhurst Park thanks to his impressive record at Brentford, where he was working on a similar budget to the Eagles.

‘The Tottenham boss has endured a miserable six months in North London, but remains very highly rated and his appointment would be seen as a coup for Crystal Palace.’

Tottenham are now ‘on the brink’ of sacking Thomas Frank with two candidates emerging as his potential permanent successor, according to reports.

Spurs lost once again on Saturday with London rivals West Ham scoring an injury-time winner to boost their survival chances.

It was the Hammers first win in the Premier League since November 8 as Tottenham extended their run of matches without a win to five games under Frank.

Tottenham have now won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions and Frank is coming under some serious pressure in the boardroom.

Reacting to the defeat, Frank told reporters: “Of course, I’ve probably had better times.

“It’s probably not the best time of course, but I understand, I’m the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That’s fair.

“No problem in that sense. As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, that’s what we do and we will keep going forward.”

And now The Sun claims that Frank is ‘on the brink of being sacked’ by Tottenham with the Spurs hierarchy ‘now weighing up whether to axe him before Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund’.

The report adds: ‘Senior figures are understood to be keen to take the temperature of Frank’s squad to assess if there is still internal support for the former Brentford boss.

‘But there is a growing sense that the Dane cannot restore any authority and that the best move for all parties could be to bring his miserable seven-month reign to an end swiftly.’

John Heitinga is likely to take over as caretaker manager, while former Barcelona boss Xavi is ‘in the frame’ to get the permanent job and Mauricio Pochettino would also be a candidate if Frank is sacked.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney had sympathy for Frank after the defeat to West Ham as “it looks like he’ll lose his job”.

Rooney said on Match of the Day: “I’ve seen Thomas Frank at the end of the game and I felt for him. I’ve been in that position and it’s not a nice place to be.

“It’s a lonely place to be sometimes and especially when he’ll be feeling that a change is coming. I think the Tottenham fans have spoken.

“We’ve seen it before with the Tottenham fans and they’re not happy with what’s going on. Unfortunately, when that happens, it looks like he’ll lose his job.

“I’ve stood at Elland Road [when Birmingham City manager] and I knew it was coming just after New Year. New Year’s Day actually I think.

“Yeah, you know and it’s not a nice feeling because you want the ground to swallow you up.”

According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur have opted ‘to sack’ head coach Thomas Frank as they are ‘accelerating plans’ to bring in a replacement.

Frank was appointed to replace former boss Ange Postecoglou at Spurs, having been tasked to stabilise the club following a chaotic couple of years.

However, Frank has failed in that regard, with Tottenham‘s dire form over the past few months leaving them 14th in the Premier League as the split between club chiefs and supporters remains.

It has been proven to be a mistake to appoint Frank, who has not clicked with supporters, as results have been poor and his style of football has been uninspiring.

On Saturday, Spurs reached a new low as they suffered an embarrassing 2-1 home loss against relegation-threatened West Ham, with Fabrizio Romano confirming after this match that his “job is at serious risk”.

“This is a really terrible moment for Tottenham, even though the club tried to show support for Thomas Frank during the week by appointing John Heitinga, former Ajax manager and former Arne Slot assistant at Liverpool, as part of the backroom staff,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.

READ: Who will be next Tottenham manager if (when) Thomas Frank is sacked? Amorim, Maresca in the hunt

“There were positive signals and images of support, but once again Tottenham lost over the weekend, and now the situation is very complicated for Thomas Frank.

“His job is at serious risk, and while Tottenham must decide whether to make a change now or give him time to try to turn things around, the reality is that his position is not safe at this stage.

“Internal talks are taking place, the next hours and days will be crucial, and while Glasner is expected to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season, Thomas Frank is fighting to keep his job at Tottenham as the club prepares to make a decision very soon.

“Champions League football also plays a role in the timing of Tottenham’s decision, but the key message remains that the situation for Thomas Frank is dangerous and his job is not safe at this moment.”

Now, a report from Football Insider claims Spurs are ‘to sack Frank and appoint a replacement immediately’ as they are ‘accelerating plans’.

READ: F365’s 3pm Blackout: Frank sack imminent and Slot not far behind as Liverpool make unwelcome history

The report explains: ‘Saturday’s defeat and the reaction from Spurs fans is believed to be a “game-changer” for the club’s hierarchy, with chants of ‘sacked in the morning’ ringing out.

‘As a result, work has already begun to identify his successor with both interim and full-time appointments being considered behind the scenes.’

Spurs are already linked with several potential replacements, and talkSPORT are reporting that club legend and current United States boss Mauricio Pochettino is ‘open to a return’.

They said: ‘If Frank is sacked, Spurs would likely appoint an interim manager until the end of the season.

‘It is understood former boss Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a return to the club after leading the USA at this summer’s World Cup.’

According to reports, a Tottenham Hotspur chief has ‘recommended’ Thomas Frank’s ‘dismissal’, while one ‘leading candidate’ is keen to replace him.

Frank is currently among the favourites to be the next Premier League manager sacked, as Tottenham’s form in recent months has been shambolic.

Former Brentford boss Frank was brought in to balance the books following Ange Postecoglou’s chaotic reign, but he has taken Spurs too far in the other direction as he has been heavily criticised by supporters over his dull approach.

Results have also been dire as the north London side have only won two of their previous 13 Premier League matches.

Spurs hit a new low on Saturday as they suffered an embarrassing 2-1 home loss against relegation-threatened West Ham, with BBC reporter Sami Mokbel claiming ‘at least one club executive has actively recommended Frank’s dismissal’ as he ‘loses internal support’.

READ: F365’s 3pm Blackout: Frank sack imminent and Slot not far behind as Liverpool make unwelcome history

Mokbel explained: ‘BBC Sport understands at least one member of the club’s executive team has actively raised the option of ending Frank’s reign in recent weeks.

‘The club have so far backed Frank despite Spurs’ struggles this season, but Saturday’s home defeat by West Ham means his position is now under threat as the club’s hierarchy weighs up whether they should move immediately or give Frank a chance to turn things round.’

Spurs are already linked with several potential repalcements, including former boss and current United States manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Now, a report from Football Insider claims Pochettino is ‘one of the leading candidates’ on Tottenham’s shortlist’, and he has already ‘opened the door to a return’ to the club, with reporter Pete O’Rourke insisting he has not “hidden his desire”.

“Pochettino himself, he’s never hidden his desire to maybe return to Tottenham. He feels he’s got unfinished business there,” O’Rourke said.

“So he would be somebody that I’m sure the club have continued to keep tabs on.

“If something does happen with Thomas Frank, Pochettino would tick a lot of boxes because of his experience and everything else. But yeah, nothing’s going to happen until the summer on that one. And let’s see what happens with Thomas Frank between now and then.

“But look, Pochettino, top manager, did a great job in his first spell at Tottenham.

“I’m sure he’s somebody who would definitely be in there thinking if they do need to replace Thomas Frank.”

Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara, meanwhile, has named his “dream” replacement for Frank.

“You go interim until the end of the season,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“I don’t know who…I’d like someone with an affiliation to Spurs, just until the end of the season.

“I’d have Robbie Keane in until the end of the season, but he won’t leave unless he’s getting a job full time.”

Regarding a long-term replacement, O’Hara later added: “In dreamland, I’d say Xabi Alonso.

“But I don’t think we’d get him…I’m not saying we’d get him, but I’m just not sure what the answer is.”

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank is at ‘serious risk’ of losing his job after the 2-1 loss against West Ham United.

Frank appears to be on the brink of losing his Spurs job, as several outlets have claimed that he is under severe pressure following Saturday’s embarrassing 2-1 home loss to relegation-threatened West Ham.

Tottenham’s latest loss leaves them 14th in the Premier League and only ten points clear of the relegation places.

After the loss to West Ham, it has been reported that the north London outfit are ‘weighing up a change’ in the dugout as Frank increasingly looks like the wrong fit for the club.

An insider on X has since claimed that club chiefs ‘called an emergency meeting’ on Saturday evening, while ‘Frank could be sacked if the board reaches agreement’.

Now, Romano has provided a detailed update on Frank’s situation, with the Spurs boss “not safe at this stage”.

“[It’s] a really terrible situation a moment for Tottenham,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.

“Yes, Tottenham tried to show support for Thomas Frank by appointing John Heitinga, former Arne Slot assistant at Liverpool, as a new part of the backroom staff during the week. So, trying to add one more piece to the backroom staff and to show support in a beautiful picture with Thomas Frank and John Heitinga.

“But then over the weekend, Saturday, Tottenham lose again. Now the situation is very, very complicated for Thomas Frank at Tottenham, his job is at serious risk, so let’s see what happens in the next hours and days.

“But the situation of Thomas Frank at Tottenham is not safe at this stage, so they could change the manager. Let’s see if it’ll be now, or if they will give him opportunity to try to turn the situation. But the situation is very tense for Thomas Frank at Tottenham.”

He added: “Thomas Frank is fighting to keep his job at Tottenham, but the club will decide very soon.

“Internal talks are taking place, and it’s going to be a crucial moment for the future of Thomas Frank at Tottenham. Then there is Champions League football, so let’s see with the timing what Tottenham decide to do.

“But the situation of Thomas Frank is in danger, so let’s see what’s going to happen. He’s not safe in this moment, his job at Tottenham is not safe.”

Spurs are already being linked with several potential replacements, including former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso.

However, a report from The Independent claims Alonso, who has been internally mentioned as a candidate, ‘feels he will have better options over the coming months’.

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank is likely to have “two or three games” left to prove himself at Spurs ahead of their match against West Ham.

The north London club are 14th in the Premier League table ahead of their 3pm kick-off against the Hammers on Saturday afternoon with Frank’s side looking to climb towards the top half of the table.

Tottenham have won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions and Frank is coming under pressure from fans and the board to turn things around.

A recent report claimed that the Spurs board are “split” over Frank’s future with Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham coming feeling the heat over the appointment of the former Brentford head coach in the summer.

And now there is a fresh update from former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, who reckons Frank only has “two or three games” to save his job.

Borson told Football Insider: “I think the injury situation is a big issue and I think the manager is a big issue as well because clearly he’s not really started well.

“I think you’ve got to start relatively well in this situation. I don’t think you can have as bad a start as he’s had and easily survive.

“He’s probably got two or three games. If two or three games now go against him, he’s probably going to get changed.

“That’s a big problem for the development of a new Tottenham, regardless of whether Daniel Levy is there or not.”

Defeat to West Ham, who are in the relegation zone, would be very hard to take for the Tottenham board and Andoni Iraola has been linked with succeeding Frank.

Iraola, who is also in the frame for the Manchester United job ahead of the summer, has responded to rumours about his future.

Speaking to Marca, Iraola said about being linked to Tottenham and other jobs: “I’m very happy at Bournemouth, I’ve always said that.

“For managers, the contract isn’t that important. I believe that trust should be renewed every year. If you’re happy with me and I’m happy with you, why not stay for another year?

“I wouldn’t want to stay somewhere simply because I have a signed contract. Once we achieve our objective, we’ll meet and see how to approach the next season and whether or not to continue. That’s what I’m thinking about, but staying here is a good option.”

On getting results against top sides while at Bournemouth, Iraola added: “It’s not just about how you want to play. You depend on the opponent, and usually, the teams that consider themselves better accept the challenge of more open matches, and we don’t mind that.”

When asked how he convinces players to repeat so many high-intensity efforts, Iraola continued: “They have to get used to living like this every day. Training and playing like this to get into the rhythm.

“All our teams have welcomed it because, at the end of the day, we produce good results offensively. We score goals, we create chances… and when players see that there’s a reward for that work, they usually buy into it.”

According to reports, Aston Villa have been ‘offered’ an alternative to Conor Gallagher after Tottenham Hotspur beat them to the £34m signing.

Aston Villa had a frustrating summer transfer window as their Profit and Sustainability issues impacted their plans and faced a battle to keep their key assets.

Villa eventually managed to keep Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Martinez, but it was still an underwhelming window for Unai Emery‘s side, who have massively surpassed expectations this season.

The Villans suffered a hangover from last season as they struggled near the bottom of the table for the first few weeks of this campaign, but they have been one of the form teams in Europe in recent months as they have entered the Premier League title conversation.

Aston Villa have also fared well in the Europa League, so it’s not a huge surprise that they are active in this month’s transfer window as they look to strengthen their squad.

The Premier League outfit have already made two signings as they have landed Alysson from Gremio and Brian Madjo from Metz.

Villa remain in the market for additions after being beaten in the race to sign England international Gallagher, who has instead joined Spurs for around £34m.

Now, a report from journalist Graeme Bailey for our pals at TEAMtalk claims Villa are among seven clubs to have been ‘offered’ AC Milan and England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

It is claimed that Emery ‘remains keen to strengthen his midfield options this month’, though Manchester United, Newcastle, Brentford, Everton, Sunderland and Fulham are also contenders for Loftus-Cheek.

The report adds: ‘Intermediaries who have been sounding out potential moves have suggested Milan would be willing to let him leave on-loan with an option.

‘This appeals to sides who would prefer to try-before-they-buy rather than risking an immediate transfer.’

Donyell Malen’s move to AS Roma has raised funds, with Villa expected to fill the void left by the Dutchman with another forward.

This currently looks likely to be former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, who could be their third summer signing after Alysson and Madjo.

On Thursday, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the attacker has ‘opened doors’ for a move back to Villa.

He said on X: ‘Tammy Abraham has opened doors to Aston Villa move as personal terms are not an issue.

‘Villa, working on new striker after Malen left to join AS Roma — no agreement or deal done yet with Besiktas.’

Tottenham have revealed plans to sign another midfielder in 2026 with the club set to finalise a deal for Conor Gallagher, according to reports.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier on Wednesday that Gallagher has completed his medical at Tottenham and will be announced as a Spurs player shortly.

Romano wrote on X: ‘Conor Gallagher completed his medical as new Tottenham player, official statement next to announce him and Brazilian LB Souza from Santos. Atlético Madrid receive €40m.’

Despite Gallagher potentially solving a number of issues in the middle of the park for Tottenham, the Spurs recruitment team think they are still lacking one midfield player.

The Times claim that Tottenham are looking to sign a ‘midfield connector’ in 2026 with a deep-lying creative playmaker on their list of top targets.

The report reveals: ‘What Gallagher will not solve is Tottenham’s need for a midfield connector, a playmaker to complement the more destructive Palhinha at the base of their midfield.

‘The club have identified the need for more of a creative passer from deep but whether such a key signing can be made in January, or has to be deferred to the summer, remains to be seen. The most-wanted Premier League players in that position — Adam Wharton among them — are unlikely to be leaving mid-season.’

Yan Diomande has been heavily linked to a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, but Romano has revealed a deal is “not possible” for Spurs in January.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “The message from Leipzig is that Diomande will not leave the club in the January window. They want to keep the winger. Eventually, in the summer it’s going to be a different story. Man Utd, PSG and Bayern are sending their people to follow him. Tottenham already tried for this January window but it was not possible. There’s going to be plenty of interest in him because he’s one of the most interesting wingers in the market.

“But Leipzig was to continue with him and protect him. They think the next six months will help to drive the price higher ahead of the summer transfer window.

“If you ask me do you think Diomande will move in January, I’d say it would be complicated because Leipzig already made big money in the summer.”

* Conor Gallagher is no magic robot but he’s not Poochie either; Spurs are beggars who can’t be choosers

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness thinks Tottenham are putting their backing behind Thomas Frank with the Gallagher signing amid rumours he could face the sack soon unless he turns results around.

Wyness told Football Insider: “It was confirmed that Gallagher is going to come to Spurs. And that’s exactly what I mean about the Tottenham hierarchy backing Thomas Frank.

“So Gallagher is a hard-working player. He did well at Atletico Madrid, he was well-liked, but certainly did really well at Palace. And I think he will fit Thomas Frank very well. He’s a hard-working player, which is probably the best I can say about him.

“But I think at £40 million, that’s a big sign of backing for Thomas Frank. If there’s a couple of more and I do expect another couple for Spurs, that’s going to be a big sign for him. I think having him come in to freshen up the squad as well against West Ham will give Spurs that bit of an edge.

“And so I expect to see Spurs to win that game, but it’s a tricky one. But certainly freshening up Spurs is going to be important and we’re seeing those signs. Whereas the freshening up in West Ham seems more desperation rather than actually strategic freshening up in my point of view.”

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to rival Manchester United and Chelsea for AS Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, according to reports in Italy.

The signing of a new No.1 feels unlikely in January, but upgrading on Guglielmo Vicario should be a priority for Tottenham in the summer.

Svilar to the Prem? What to know

Spurs need a new goalkeeper and Svilar would be an upgrade on Vicario

You might remember Svilar as the young goalkeeper who scored an own goal for Benfica against Manchester United in the Champions League back in 2017.

Despite that error, there was huge belief that the Serbian would become a top goalkeeper, and he has done just that.

He spent five years at Benfica before joining Roma on a free transfer in 2022 and has gone on to make 112 appearances for the Serie A club.

Svilar has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy, and his performances for Roma have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs.

Prem giants ‘not scared’ of £60m goalkeeper price tag

According to Asromalive.it, Svilar is valued at €70million (£60m) after signing a new five-year contract last summer, but that fee ‘wouldn’t scare English clubs’.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all said to be ‘pursuing’ the 26-year-old, though Roma’s Serie A rivals Inter and AC Milan ‘could be the ones to decide the market moves’.

That is because Milan could lose Maignan on a free transfer this summer, while Inter are looking for a long-term successor to Yan Sommer.

Inter are reportedly interested in signing Spurs goalkeeper Vicario, which could open the door for the north London club to bid for Svilar.

Meanwhile, Chelsea remain in the race for Maignan, and if the Frenchman renews at San Siro, they could move for Svilar instead.

United’s interest is more unexpected. They only signed Lammens last summer, and the Belgian has impressed this season, adding a calm that has eluded the Red Devils’ back line since Andre Onana’s arrival.

Svilar for Vicario is a no-brainer for Spurs

Chelsea could certainly benefit from a new goalkeeper, and Svilar would be an upgrade on Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen.

But it is Spurs who should be pulling out all the stops to upgrade on Vicario.

The Italian has been inconsistent since moving to the Premier League in 2022 and has made several high-profile errors with the ball at his feet.

READ: ‘Blameless’ Spurs liability Vicario should be Frank’s first sacrifice to save his job

Not only is the 29-year-old unconvincing in possession, but he often appears weak when defending set-pieces.

He does pull off the occasional wonder save to convince those who do not watch Spurs regularly that he is performing well, but Thomas Frank’s goalkeeping department could clearly benefit from a reshuffle.

Antonin Kinsky has not done enough to convince Frank that he can replace Vicario, who was added to the Danish coach’s leadership group upon his arrival from Brentford last summer.

Vicario was even booed by some Spurs fans during a Premier League match against Fulham this season, which is clearly unacceptable.

Frank addressed the incident after the 2-1 defeat, in which Vicario gifted Harry Wilson the Cottagers’ second goal.

He said: “I heard some of our fans apparently booed the incident and booed after, which, in my opinion, is completely unacceptable.

“They can’t be true Tottenham fans if they do that. Fair enough booing after the game, no problem, but when we are playing, we support each other and we are behind each other.”
