Thomas Frank's dream Johan Lange meeting - Tottenham agree Sesko fee as Man Utd hijacked

Tottenham are planning a revival following a poor Premier League campaign that was partially softened by a remarkable Europa League triumph. Thomas Frank's appointment as head coach is part of a summer overhaul of the club's hierarchy and playing staff.

Frank is likely to have a big say on transfer business in meetings with technical director Johan Lange. Scott Munn, who is the chief football officer, was reportedly placed on gardening leave earlier this week, leaving Lange to assume more responsibility. Loan deals for Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso have already been made permanent, and Spurs are expected to be busy over the coming months. Express Sport looks at what Frank might be hoping for ahead of his next meeting with the club's hierarchy.

Tottenham agree Benjamin Sesko fee

Sesko has been linked with almost every top European team wanting a centre-forward this summer. Arsenal and Manchester United are widely believed to have the Slovenian high on their agendas. However, Spurs could also contemplate a move as they strengthen their forward line.

Dominic Solanke's first season was punctuated by a couple of frustrating injuries. Frank may also want two excellent strikers, having played a front two at times at Brentford. Sesko and Solanke could play alongside each other.

Reports suggest that RB Leipzig will only consider offers above £68m. That is a fee Spurs can surely match, particularly with the added income provided by their Champions League qualification. Playing in Europe's elite competition gives Spurs the edge over United if it comes down to persuading the 22-year-old to join.

A slight sticking point will be convincing Sesko that the white half of north London is more appealing than the red, but Frank's charm could make the difference.

Tottenham hijack Man Utd

The new Spurs boss will also want the latest on Bryan Mbeumo's future. Frank enjoyed huge success with the Cameroon international in his forward line at Brentford. A possible reunion across London has been reported, but United are also interested in a move for the wide man.

Mbeumo seems set to join the Red Devils as their second summer signing. Football.London report that a medical has already been booked and that the 25-year-old will play alongside Matheus Cunha in Ruben Amorim's new-look attack.

However, Spurs will know that a deal is not done until the required paperwork is signed. Frank may ask for efforts to be placed into convincing Mbeumo to U-turn on his decision and join him at Spurs instead.
