Thomas Frank could look to his former club Tottenham for reinforcements if he takes charge of Crystal Palace.

Thomas Frank has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Pierre Sage at Crystal Palace, with Express Sport identifying four Tottenham Hotspur players he could target in January. The potential raid includes defender Tosin Adarabioyo, midfielder Conor Gallagher, forward Richarlison, and long-serving defender Ben Davies to help lift Palace off the bottom of the Premier League table.
Express Sport suggests these Tottenham players could address Palace's major shortcomings, including a defense that has conceded 24 goals and an attack struggling to score. Frank previously managed Spurs before his dismissal in February 2026, while Palace sit bottom following four consecutive league defeats under Sage.
