Mbeumo, Eze and Guehi in, Son ditched: Tottenham predicted XI under Thomas Frank
Tottenham are set for a new look starting 11 next season with Thomas Frank set to replace Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs sacked Postecoglou on Friday, 6 June, and Tottenham are now negotiating with Brentford over Frank.
Once the Bees boss moves to North London, he will look to guide Daniel Levy’s club to a significantly better Premier League finish than the 17th spot they managed under Postecoglou.
Frank will also have to cope with the challenge of Champions League football, courtesy of Tottenham’s victory over Manchester United in last month’s Europa League final.
Eze replaces Son in new look Tottenham lineup
The most significant change in Spurs’ lineup next term is that Tottenham could sell Son Heung-Min to sign Eberechi Eze.
Eze could prove to be a top acquisition for the North Londoners after spearheading Crystal Palace to FA Cup glory.
Meanwhile, according to The Standard, England defender Marc Guehi is likely to leave Palace this summer and has attracted interest from Spurs.
While the North London club eye Guehi, Cristian Romero could leave Tottenham amid links to La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.
In an exciting development, Bryan Mbeumo could follow Frank from Brentford to Spurs, rather than joining Man United.
Frank could be set to integrate his potential new signings into the same 4-2-3-1 system he has deployed in West London.
Champions League status will help Tottenham in transfer pursuits
While Postecoglou proved to be a divisive figure throughout his time in the dugout with the North London club, the best legacy he has left behind for his likely successor Frank is that Tottenham will be competing in the Champions League next season.

The likes of Mbeumo, Guehi, and Eze should all be keen to play at the top table of European football next term, which will help Frank in the summer transfer market.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace may be banned from the Europa League, courtesy of UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules, which could make Eze and Guehi all the more keen to leave the Eagles in favour of joining Spurs.
The Palace duo will both be intent of putting themselves in contention for England selection in next summer’s World Cup, and competing in the Champions League would certainly help their cause.
