Sources: Tottenham eye midfield reunion but Premier League side stand firm
Tottenham are making a determined effort to reunite Thomas Frank with one of his most trusted former players, Christian Norgaard.
Sources with close links to the agent industry have told CaughtOffside that Frank has identified the midfielder as a priority target to anchor his new-look side.
The midfielder flourished under the leadership of Frank at Brentford and the new Spurs manager is now ready to make him a part of his team again.
31-year-old Norgaard made 35 appearances for Brentford last season. He scored six goals and provided four assists.
Tottenham want to reunite Norgaard with Frank
The defensive midfielder is known for his tactical discipline, leadership qualities, and exceptional understanding of Frank’s system.
It’s no surprise then that Spurs believe he could play a central role in the club’s new era.
However, despite Tottenham’s growing interest, Brentford have so far refused to entertain the possibility of a sale.
The Bees have made it clear that they consider Norgaard untouchable, given his continued importance to their squad both on and off the pitch.
The North London club is preparing a bid in the region of £17–20 million, but even that may fall short of Brentford’s internal valuation.
Club insiders believe Brentford could deliberately inflate Norgaard’s price to ward off suitors or force Tottenham into a rethink.
Spurs are ready to make big changes this summer
Tottenham’s interest in Norgaard also comes amid plans to reshuffle their midfield, with Yves Bissouma expected to depart this summer.
Spurs are not the only club circling. AFC Bournemouth, Fulham, and Everton are also monitoring the situation, and could mount their own efforts to lure the Danish international away from west London.
For now, Tottenham’s pursuit of Norgaard is at a standstill, but in the next few weeks, it could all change.
Spurs are also edging closer to the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich this summer.
