Brentford set-piece coach Keith Andrews is under consideration by the board. The former Republic of Ireland midfielder has no managerial experience, but is seriously being considered by Brentford chiefs. The Bees had initially identified Justin Cochrane as Frank's successor, but the assistant manager has followed the Dane to Tottenham.

The potential promotion of Andrews aligns with Brentford’s established ethos. When Dean Smith left in 2018, Thomas Frank was promoted from within. That continuity paid off handsomely. Andrews could represent a similar blend of familiarity and innovation — someone who understands the dressing room but can also add new layers tactically.

With Frank now installed as manager, it appears as though Spurs’ transfer stance has changed. According to Sky Sports News, talks have been held between Spurs and Brentford over a move for Mbeumo, who has been forced to rethink a possible switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
