'Frank loves him'- Reliable journo expects Tottenham to test the water for ‘experienced’ Brentford star

It is quite important for the Lilywhites to bring in new midfielders as Thomas Frank setup forces the central players to create chances from deep. Most of the attacks come through the number six and eight as they link up with wide players to create goal-scoring opportunities. As of now, Spurs have no quality holding midfielder that is comfortable on the ball.

Tottenham are interested in signing Brentford star Christian Norgaard

It was reported earlier that Tottenham are willing to land Brentford star Christian Norgaard in the summer. The Denmark international has made a name for himself at the Gtech Stadium and was a crucial player for the Bees under Thomas Frank. The 31-year-old has overperformed ever since he made the switch from Fiorentina in 2019. And there is no surprise that Frank wants the midfielder to follow suit and head to N17 in the summer.

Now, Alasdair Gold also expects Spurs to test the waters and land the Danish midfielder in the coming weeks. Writing for Football.london, Gold said,

“It’s a shame (for Frank anyway) that Christian Norgaard signed a new deal towards the end of last season because I would not have been shocked if Spurs had made a move for him as he was one of the more underrated midfielders in the Premier League last season.”

The journalist added,

“Frank absolutely loves the experienced Dane and thinks he’s a special leader and no doubt would have wanted that at Spurs as someone who knows his demands inside out being in the centre of the team. Perhaps they might still test the water with Brentford.”

Alasdair Gold has suggested that Tottenham would have made a move on Brentford star Christian Norgaard in the summer if the 31-year-old had not signed a new contract during the latter stages of the season. The journalist adds that Thomas Frank ‘loves’ the midfielder and believes that he would fit right in at the heart of the midfield at N17. Gold also shares that Spurs might find a way to test the waters for Norgaard’s signature and lure him to join Thomas Frank at Hotspur Way next season.

The only concern that the fans would have with this signing is the age-factor. The Brentford midfielder is already 31-years-old and does not have a long time left at the top before he faces an eventual decline in form. However, his ability to play comfortably in Thomas Frank’ setup means that he might play a crucial part during the initial years at N17 while the Daish tactician sets up his foundations at the club.
