Spurs hold talks over signing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and interested in Wissa

Thomas Frank could move for former club’s main strikers

Spurs file legal claim against Ineos over sponsorship deal

Tottenham have held initial talks about signing Bryan Mbeumo from Thomas Frank’s former club Brentford and are also interested in bringing his strike-partner Yoane Wissa to north London.

Frank was confirmed as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement on Thursday and is targeting the duo that contributed 39 Premier League goals in last season for Brentford as he attempts to strengthen the Spurs squad. Mbeumo is also wanted by Manchester United, who had an offer worth up to £55m for the Cameroon forward rejected last week and are expected to return with an improved bid. Brentford value the 25-year-old at more than £60m but are not expected to stand in his way if they can agree a deal, with Mbeumo previously thought to favour a move to Old Trafford.
