Spurs edge closer to announcing new manager
Tottenham have reportedly reached an agreement with Brentford to appoint Thomas Frank as their new head coach, following Ange Postecoglou 's sacking.
Spurs approached Brentford on Monday, initiating discussions regarding Frank's contract, which ran until 2027 and included a £10 million release clause.
Negotiations also covered Frank's backroom staff, with Brentford first-team coach Justin Cochrane expected to join him at Tottenham, returning to his former club where he began his coaching career.
Christian Eriksen, who played under Frank at both Brentford and Tottenham, has endorsed Frank as the 'right coach' for Tottenham, citing his personality, playing style, and suitability for the club's rebuilding process.
Frank, who transformed Brentford during his seven-year tenure, led the club to promotion from the Championship in 2021 and established them as a Premier League regular.

The England pair face Ricardo Pietreczko and Martin Schindler in the round of 16 in Frankfurt tonight. 3 3 Littler had previously gotten into a spat with Pietreczko and controversially slated Germany because of crowd problems. He posted on Instagram: "Shouldn't have been in Munich but had to play anyway. "Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that." Pietreczko - nicknamed 'Pikachu' - said: "I think it was a very funny game against both Lukes, because Luke Littler says never come back to Germany.' Schindler added: "I think the fans are going to play a major role in that. 'If we are going to play against bigger nations, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Netherlands or whoever, there are so many good names in it right now. "I think this probably is the best World Cup to be in and we are very happy about the support we are getting from the fans.' Littler clashed with 'Pikachu' in March when the German confronted him after being beaten. Luke Littler reveals he's signed up to HUGE reality show alongside YouTuber mate Pietreczko explained: "Well, I really appreciated him being able to play a game like that at such an age, but I hope his arrogance punishes him." Littler claimed he had no idea what he had done wrong but acknowledged "everyone wants to beat him". Away from the oche, the top two players in the world, Humphries and Littler, were both awarded an MBE on Friday as part of the King's Birthday Honours list for their contributions to sports.

Humphries said: "I'm extremely honoured and delighted to be receiving an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for services to darts. "To be recognised by the King for what I have achieved, and also for my contribution to playing in and promoting the sport that I love, is something that I never thought possible, but I'm very grateful that it has become a reality.'

B&M has slashed the price of a kids summer essential to just £1 down from £50
ONE proud shopper announced he'd snapped up the 'bargain of the year' after he bagged a £50 garden toy for just £1. The Giant Rocking Planet inflatable is ideal for keeping your little ones off their gadgets and instead, outside in nature. 2 It is for children aged eight and above, and it comes with a battery-operated pump. The toy was originally £50 before it was reduced to £20, then it plummeted to just £1. The cost-cutting customer shared a snap of the product on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook. He added a screen grab with information to help other shoppers find it in their local stores. "Just found the bargain of the year!! £50!!!! Down to £1," he wrote. Other shoppers flocked to the comment section, with one writing: "Super bargain!" Another shared a photo of her own giant inflatable and wrote: "Thank you! Just got one." A third wrote: "Omg my autistic son would loooooove this!!!!!" "I've been looking everywhere for one of these! I saw them a few years ago and they've never had them again!" chimed a fourth. The product code is: 394873 and the B&M scanner noted that the inflatable is subject to availability. He'd discovered the major deal by using the B&M free barcode scanner. The tool allows shoppers to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them. The scanner lets you see if the item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they're labelled "big brands" and "big savings". It's a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year. B&M bargains often differ from store to store and customers are warned that some products are available in selected stores only. To avoid a wasted trip, contact your local branch to check their stock. To find your nearest, use the online store locator tool. The garden toy is made in the shape of Saturn, with a large ring running around the outside for children to climb on. There are handles on the sphere for kids to hold on as they rock from side to side. Another shopper was thrilled with the deal, and treated her kids to a inflatable boxing ring and slide too. "Grand total of £12 for £150 worth of toys! Slide was £10 and the other two were £1 each," she wrote on the same Facebook group. If you're looking to turn your garden into a fun-filled play area for your kids, B&M has you covered with more incredible offers. The discount store is flogging a huge inflatable slide for just £10. A shopper shared the deal on the same Facebook page and wrote: "Yesterday's find at B&M." Attached to the post was a picture of a Gigantic Garden Slide, originally priced at £50. A sale sticker had been placed on the box, to say it had been reduced to £30, however, when the shopper got to the till, it had been reduced to just £10. The bargain buy is six feet long when inflated and promises "slip'n, slide'n fun". It is suitable for children over three and includes a battery-operated pump. B&M said: "Unleash the fun in the sun with this epic giant inflatable slide! "Watch as the kids' smiles reach new heights - It's the ultimate entertainment for endless summer fun." Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook posts to tag their friends and share the bargain with them. One shopper pointed out that the slide is from last year's stock, so may not be available to buy in your local.
