Tottenham Hotspur have had their eye on one Premier League midfield general for two years, and they believe they now finally have an opportunity to get the player after Thomas Frank’s appointment.According to reports over recent days, Frank has identified a defensive midfielder as a priority signing at Tottenham this summer.It was reported last week that Frank would like to bring Christian Norgaard to Tottenham, with the Danish coach said to have an excellent relationship with the Brentford captain.However, the update explained that the Lilywhites are expected to be frustrated in their pursuit of Norgaard as Brentford have no intention of letting the 31-year-old go and are determined to price him out of a move.Photo by Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty ImagesThomas Frank could boost Tottenham’s Christian Norgaard hopesFootball Transfers have now revealed that Spurs’ interest in the Brentford star is not new and dates back to 2023 when the North Londoners first explored a move for the player.Now that Frank is their new head coach, the outlet suggests that Tottenham Hotspur could now reignite their long-standing pursuit of Norgaard.Spurs are described as ‘huge admirers’ of the midfielder and are keen to add experience to their squad ahead of their return to the Champions League.The fact that the Bees star is intimately familiar with Frank’s tactical ideas means that he is seen as someone who will help the team transition into their new style of play this season.The outlet adds that while Brentford are keen to hold onto their captain, the lure of Champions League football and working under a manager he knows well could see the player tempted to make a move across London.Alasdair Gold reveals what he thinks of Tottenham’s Norgaard pursuitHowever, not everyone is convinced that Tottenham will push ahead with a move for the Brentford midfielder.A few days ago, Alasdair Gold suggested that a move to Spurs is unlikely for Norgaard this summer, pointing out that he only signed a new deal at the Gtech Community Stadium back in March.The journalist also suggested that at 31 years of age, the Denmark international does not fit the age profile that Tottenham are likely to go for this summer.READ MORE: Thomas Frank’s relationship with senior Tottenham figure could help this summerThe post Tottenham to reignite two-year interest in midfielder after Thomas Frank’s arrival appeared first on Spurs Web.
