Tottenham urged to sign player with Arsenal tattoo to bring leadership under new manager Thomas Frank

<p>Spurs are preparing to usher in a new era after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/try-harder-ex-tottenham-boss-questions-squad-commitment-ange-postecoglou-mutiny/blta0c2c77d4af8db83" target="_blank">parting company with Ange Postecoglou</a>. He was relieved of his duties in north London despite overseeing a Europa League triumph in 2024-25 and bringing Tottenham’s 17-year wait for trophy glory to a close.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Managerial <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-frank-seven-point-tottenham-plan-beat-mutiny-win-trophy-hijack-man-utd-move-bryan-mbeumo/bltd91eb753caee669b" target="_blank">reins have been passed to Frank</a>, with a sizeable compensation package helping to lure him away from Premier League rivals Brentford. Unsurprisingly, Spurs are now being linked with a number of their new coach’s fellow Danes.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>One of those is holding midfielder Hjulmand, who has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/tottenham-man-utd-scouts-watch-sporting-cp-midfielder-morten-hjulmand-euro-2024-screamer-denmark-england/bltac65b5e7e3d97914" target="_blank">starring in Portugal for Sporting</a>. He is under contract in Lisbon until 2028, with that deal including a release clause that has been set at €80 million (£68m/$92m).</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ex-Denmark international Thomas Gravesen, who spent time in England with Everton during his playing days, has said of Hjulmand heading to London: "He is a captain of calibre. Frank was with Norgaard for several years, and Hjulmand is an improved version and is even younger. That is why I think Frank’s first big purchase for Tottenham should be Hjulmand."</p>

WHAT GRAVESEN SAID

<p>Part of the problem for Spurs is that, according to <a href="https://www.abola.pt/ " target="_blank"><em>A Bola</em></a>, the transfer "door has been firmly locked" by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/no-longer-need-him-ruben-amorim-move-man-utd-sporting-captain-morten-hjulmand-positive-exit/blt2c5f4aa6297e6b8f" target="_blank">Sporting as they have no desire to sell</a>. Tottenham fans will also be wary of bringing in a self-confessed Arsenal supporter that has a Gunners body inking.</p>
