Spurs made Danish boss Frank their No1 target to succeed Ange Postecoglou.
That was after Aussie Postecoglou was sacked just 16 days on from ending the club's 17-year trophy drought with Europa League glory in Bilbao.
Frank has already said yes to come to Spurs - it has just been a matter of the two clubs coming to a financial agreement.
The Bees hold a release clause on Frank that is believed to be around £10million.

Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna is set to be among the candidates Brentford will consider as Frank's replacement.
Should Frank leave, it will end a near seven-year stay with the Bees where he has won promotion to the Premier League and managed two top-ten finishes, including this term.
But SunSport understands McKenna is happy at Ipswich and determined to take the club back to the Prem following their relegation.
Meanwhile Postecoglou has already had interest from other clubs since his ruthless Spurs axing.

The former Celtic treble-winner is understood to have been sounded out by clubs in England and on the Continent already.
But Postecoglou, who is enjoying some time with his family, is happy not to rush any decision over his future.
That does not rule out a quick return to management, however, should the right opportunity present itself.

Cunha said: 'It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player. 'Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. 'I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my teammates and prepare for the season ahead. Mateus Cunha scored 31 goals in 76 appearances for Wolves (Nick Potts/PA) 'All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.' Cunha became Ruben Amorim's first summer signing on June 1 as the head coach sets about overhauling his squad after a miserable domestic campaign and a Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. The striker helped his country qualify for the World Cup finals on Tuesday when he set up the only goal for Vinicius Jr. in a 1-0 win over Paraguay. United's director of football Jason Wilcox added: 'Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window. 'He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.'
