Accounts indicate what was paid in compensation

Spurs struggling five points above relegation zone

Tottenham paid Brentford £6.7m in compensation to secure the services of Thomas Frank last summer, with the head coach fighting for his future eight months later.

Confirmation that Tottenham paid such a large fee for Frank, which is revealed in Brentford’s 2024-25 accounts published on Wednesday, may add to the pressure on the club to act after fans called for the Dane to be sacked during and after Tuesday night’s 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle.

Frank’s side have won twice in 17 Premier League games and are 16th, five points above the relegation zone.
