The Story in 60 Seconds

Football FanCast writer Tom Cunningham argues that hiring Thomas Frank would allow Crystal Palace to unlock striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, dubbing him the club's new Christian Benteke. With Palace sitting bottom of the Premier League following a defeat against Liverpool, manager Pierre Sage is reportedly facing dismissal after winning just two of ten league matches.

According to The Athletic, Frank is the leading candidate to replace Sage at Selhurst Park. Cunningham suggests that Frank's counter-attacking style would revive the form of £48m signing Strand Larsen, comparing his potential impact to Benteke's 15-goal campaign during the 2016/17 season.
