Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayIt's all change at Tottenham Hotspur at the moment.
Despite leading the club to their third European title in the Europa League last month and ending their almost two-decade trophy drought, Ange Postecoglou was officially given the boot on Friday afternoon.
While this is undoubtedly a divisive decision among the fanbase, it's not hard to see why it was made, as the Australian oversaw just 11 wins out of a possible 38 in the Premier League this term.

Interestingly, while no announcement has been made just yet, it is looking increasingly likely that the man to replace Ange will be Brentford boss Thomas Frank, and that could be very good news indeed for a certain youngster in the squad.
Spurs' winners and losers under Frank
Before getting to the player in question, let's take a look at some of the potential winners and losers at Spurs under a possible Frank tenure, starting with those who might not be so lucky, like Brennan Johnson.
Now, it might sound mad to suggest that the club's top scorer this season could be in trouble next year, but if Frank is able to convince the board to sign Bryan Mbeumo, as reports suggest he's trying to, then there is every chance the Welshman's game time would dramatically decrease.
Likewise, it could be the end of the road for Yves Bissouma, becuase as well as he played in the club's Europa League run, he's shown himself to be a liability in the league time and time again.

Football FanCast's Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
You only need to look at games like Fulham away, when he was hooked at halftime and given a 3/10 match rating by Alasdair Gold, or at home against Chelsea when he lost his head and gave away a needless penalty.
However, it's most certainly not all doom and gloom, as there are more than a few players we think could flourish under the Danish manager, such as Lucas Bergvall.
The 19-year-old was incredible for much of this season and even won the club's Player of the Year award.
So, when he recovers from his injury, it's not inconceivable to imagine him taking yet more steps forward under Frank.

Likewise, while Dominic Solanke wasn't exactly prolific, he's been one of the club's hardest-working attackers this season and an integral part of the frontline.
Therefore, under a manager who helped turn Brentford into a lean, mean goalscoring machine, we could see him turn the former Bournemouth man into a seriously dangerous striker.
There is another Spurs ace who could become something really quite special under the incoming boss, someone he wanted to sign in West London.
The Spurs gem Frank could transform
If you were following Tottenham's transfer dealings last summer, then you'll have probably worked out that the player in question is none other than Archie Gray.

Before making his way to North London, the former Leeds United gem looked destined to join Brentford, with reports in late June claiming that the player had agreed personal terms with the Bees and was set to have a medical.
However, the Lilywhites swooped in and picked up the incredibly talented youngster for around £30m just a few days later.
While he missed out on him last summer, we can only imagine that Frank is just as excited, if not more, about the teenager's potential now and the chance to finally work with him.
There are a few reasons why we think the Dane could help turn the 19-year-old ace into the "future £100m" superstar that data analyst Ben Mattinson claimed he could be.

The first is that after spending this season being moved around here, there, and everywhere, there is a real chance for the Durham-born midfielder to actually play in, well, midfield.
Moreover, while he didn't spend a whole lot of time there in 24/25, he was still able to produce some fairly impressive underlying numbers for someone so young.

For example, according to FBref, he sits in the 1% of midfielders in Europe's top five leagues for percentage of shots on target, the top 4% for shots blocked, the top 5% for clearances, the top 7% for medium passes completed, the top 13% for progressive passing distance, carries and more, all per 90.
Ultimately, while it'll take some time for the "sensational" prospect, as dubbed by one analyst, to reach his full potential, we have no doubt that Frank will be a brilliant manager for Gray to do it under.
