Brentford’s former manager Thomas Frank replaced the sacked Ange Postecoglou as Spurs’ new head coach. The Danish tactician made some waves with his work at Brentford, so now he’s ready for a new and bigger challenge.

Tottenham Hotspur News & Analysis

It was a summer of changes for Tottenham. Despite winning Europa League, Ange Postecoglou was sacked as the manager. Now the fans hope that Thomas Frank will do better in the Premier League – something Ange didn’t do.

On the transfer market Tottenham made some big signings. The club signed West Ham’s biggest star Mohammed Kudus while Mathys Tel also joined the team on a permanent basis. Meanwhile Bayern Munich’s Joao Palhinha returned to England after a bad spell in the Bundesliga.

The bad news for Tottenham came from James Maddison’s serious injury. The midfielder tore his ACL during a friendly game, so he will miss the next season.

Burnley News & Analysis

Burnley needed just one season in the Championship to return to the Premier League. After their relegation with Vincent Kompany, now the Clarets hope for something better with the current manager Scott Parker.

On the summer transfer market Burnley had to sell their starting goalkeeper James Trafford to Manchester City, but they had some activity as well. Chelsea’s Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja reinforced the squad while the Clarets also signed Lazio’s Loum Tchaouna, Sporting’s Marcus Edwards and Stuttgart’s Jacob Bruun Larsen.

Christian Eriksen is another player who could join Burnley in the coming days. The Danish midfielder is a free agent since leaving Manchester United. It’d be interesting to see him in Burnley’s midfield in the upcoming season.
