Brentford manager Thomas Frank has sent shockwaves through the Premier League by publicly declaring his interest in several top-tier stars, including Tottenham's Cristian Romero and West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, as part of his ambitious summer recruitment drive.
Bold Transfer Ambitions Revealed
In a remarkably candid interview, the Danish tactician outlined his dream signings, demonstrating Brentford's growing ambition in the competitive top-flight market. "If I can mention some names, I would not mind taking Romero from Tottenham," Frank stated, acknowledging the audacity of targeting such established players.
The Brentford boss didn't stop there, adding West Ham's exciting attacker Mohammed Kudus to his wishlist while expressing admiration for Chelsea's injury-plagued captain Reece James.
Realistic Expectations Amid Big Dreams
Frank maintained a pragmatic perspective despite his ambitious targets, recognising the financial and competitive realities facing the West London club. "I don't think that is possible, but he's a player I like," he conceded regarding his interest in the Argentine World Cup winner Romero.
The manager's transparency marks a departure from typical transfer window diplomacy, offering fans a rare glimpse into the strategic thinking behind Brentford's recruitment plans.
Summer of Significant Change
Frank confirmed that this summer would see substantial squad evolution, with several new faces expected at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees are preparing for their fourth consecutive Premier League campaign and appear determined to establish themselves as permanent fixtures in English football's elite division.
While major signings like Romero might remain fantasy football material for now, Frank's comments signal Brentford's intent to compete for increasingly ambitious targets as they continue their remarkable Premier League journey.
