Report: Thomas Frank could target four Tottenham players if he takes charge of Crystal Palace

Thomas Frank could look to sign four Tottenham players if he takes charge of Crystal Palace, according to an Express Sport report that names Tosin Adarabioyo, Conor Gallagher, Richarlison and Ben Davies as potential options during the January transfer window.

The possibility of Frank moving to Palace comes as the team has fallen to the bottom of the league table after ten matches and lost 3-1 to Liverpool, its fourth consecutive league defeat. The report says the club may need to strengthen its squad in January to avoid relegation, having conceded 24 goals in its first ten matches.

The report presents Adarabioyo as a defensive option after he played just 76 minutes in the league for Tottenham this season, while Gallagher could get the chance to return to Palace, where he previously scored eight goals in 34 appearances during his loan spell in the 2021-22 season. Richarlison, meanwhile, has not featured for the first team since the season opener, while Ben Davies’ minutes have declined; the report says Frank could tempt him with the prospect of regular playing time while he remains in London.
