Brentford manager Thomas Frank has openly acknowledged Tottenham Hotspur's interest in star midfielder Mohammed Kudus, hinting at a potential summer transfer battle. The Danish coach admitted that while the Bees are keen to retain their prized asset, the allure of a top-six club like Spurs could prove irresistible.
Frank's Candid Admission
Speaking ahead of Brentford's pre-season preparations, Frank made the surprising revelation: "Yes, we're aware of Tottenham's interest in Mohammed. He's a fantastic player who had an excellent season with us." The manager's unusually transparent comments have fueled speculation about the Ghanaian international's future.
Kudus' Impressive Season
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough Premier League campaign last season, contributing 12 goals and 5 assists. His dynamic performances have made him one of the most sought-after talents outside the traditional 'Big Six'.
Tottenham's Midfield Revamp
New Spurs manager is reportedly keen to add creativity to his midfield, identifying Kudus as the perfect candidate. With European football returning to North London next season, the club are prepared to back their manager in the transfer market.
Brentford's Stance
While Frank admitted interest exists, he remained firm on Brentford's position: "We want to keep our best players. Mohammed is happy here, but in football you never know what can happen." The Bees are believed to value their star man at around £60 million.
As the summer window heats up, this transfer saga promises to be one of the most intriguing of the Premier League off-season.
