Under-pressure Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank is reportedly pushing to get a deal over the line for a top centre-back target before the winter window deadline, in a move that will almost certainly trigger an exit from the club.<\/p>\n
Spurs remain on the hunt for new additions to their squad, regardless of whether Frank remains in charge or not, especially given the club\u2019s predicament down at the wrong end of the table after just two wins in 14 Premier League games.<\/p>\n
Conor Gallagher has arrived from Atletico Madrid, along with young Brazilian left-back Souza, although a proposed move for Liverpool stalwart Andy Robertson now appears to have fallen through<\/a>.<\/p>\n Defensive lapses over the last couple of months have played a major part in Tottenham<\/a> dropping into the lower reaches of the Premier League, with Frank unhappy with the concentration levels of some of his players. To that end, a new report claims that Frank is pushing for the club to sign a player he trusts from his Brentford days, Nathan Collins<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the first time that Spurs have been linked with the Republic of Ireland international, with Frank keen on striking a deal for Collins when he took over in north London last summer.<\/p>\n And now the Daily Mail<\/a> reports that Tottenham have revisited that move, although it\u2019s very much dependent on the Dane staying as the club\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n Our sources revealed on Monday that Frank has been given more time to turn things around<\/a>, although that will be easier said than done, given the fixtures Tottenham have on the horizon.<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
