Let’s be Frank

Well, we said earlier Jamie O’Hara warned United about this…

And now SunSport can exclusively reveal that Tottenham do want Bryan Mbeumo to join with Thomas Frank — in a £70million double raid on Brentford.

Spurs have made Bees boss Frank their first choice to replace axed Ange Postecoglou and want to tie up a swoop quickly.

And the Europa League winners are trying to hijack Manchester United’s move for attacker Mbeumo — with hopes that landing Frank could help sway a deal.

Frank, 51, is open to the move across London and a £10m compensation package to land the Dane and his staff will not be a problem.

Spurs technical director Johan Lange, who worked with Frank at Danish club Lyngby, will play a key role in negotiations.

Then Tottenham can join the Mbeumo chase seriously and hope that being able to offer Champions League action will give them another edge.

United are edging towards a £60m deal and Spurs have cash to match that.

Kud be keen?

Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with West Ham over Mohammed Kudus.

The Ghana winger is expected to be at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war this summer.

And Football Transfers claim the Gunners want to test the Hammers’ resolve.

Kudus reportedly has an £84m release clause.

Arsenal will not pay that much and instead hope to seal a deal for around £50m.

‘Almost decided’

Cristiano Ronaldo appears to rule himself out of playing in the upcoming Club World Cup.

The 40-year-old’s future with Al-Nassr remains uncertain ahead of the tournament in the US later this month.

Ronaldo had been linked with a move away from the Saudi side, with his contract due to expire on June 30.

The club remain confident they can convince Ronaldo to stay and pen a new deal.

Al-Nassr are not participating in Fifa’s revamped 32-strong Club World Cup.

Ronaldo had been linked with a fast-moving transfer, which would require the club to release him early from his contract so he could play in the competition.

But Ronaldo has indicated a move in time for the tournament starting on June 15 is unlikely.

Ronaldo said, via Fabrizio Romano: “It’s almost decided that I will NOT take part at the FIFA Club World Cup despite receiving many invitations and proposals.

“There have been talks, contacts – but you have to think about short, medium and long term.”
