Updated Transfer Recommendations (by Position, under Thomas Frank)
Centre-Back (CB)
Still a priority, but Frank likes athletic, aerially dominant defenders who can play in a back three.

1. Jacob Greaves (Hull City)
Est. Cost: €20–25M

Pros: Excellent progressive passing; aerially solid; Brentford were monitoring him.

Cons: Championship step-up; lacks elite pace.

2. Piero Hincapié (Leverkusen)
Est. Cost: €35–40M

Pros: Left-footed; quick; plays in a back three at Leverkusen.

Cons: Can be rash in challenges; not great in the air.

️ Defensive Midfielder (No. 6 or Hybrid 6/8)
Frank usually uses two deeper midfielders, one physical and one more technical.

1. João Neves (Benfica)
Est. Cost: €60–70M

Pros: Press-resistant, tenacious, composed.

Cons: Very expensive; small frame.

2. Youssouf Fofana (Monaco)
Est. Cost: €20–25M

Pros: Great value; defensive engine; efficient passer.

Cons: Not creative or press-resistant.

3. Onyedika Raphael (Club Brugge)
Est. Cost: €15–20M

Pros: Strong, defensive-minded midfielder; excellent duels.

Cons: Not creative; needs polish.

Centre Forward / Striker
Frank’s strikers must be physically tough, hard-working, and excellent in hold-up play.

1. Alexander Isak (Newcastle – unlikely but perfect)
Est. Cost: €75–85M

Pros: Dynamic, clinical, fits 3-5-2 or 4-3-3.

Cons: Huge price tag.

2. Victor Boniface (Leverkusen)
Est. Cost: €45–50M

Pros: Power, pace, and hold-up; fits profile exactly.

Cons: Injury concerns.

3. Evan Ferguson (Brighton)
Est. Cost: €60–70M

Pros: All-rounder; elite movement; PL-proven potential.

Cons: Brighton hard to negotiate with.

️ Wingbacks / Wide Midfielders
Frank loves high-energy wingbacks who can attack and defend consistently.

1. Vanderson (Monaco – RB)
Est. Cost: €25–30M

Pros: Balanced, athletic, good crosser.

Cons: Not elite in either direction.

2. Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth – LB)
Est. Cost: €25M

Pros: Aggressive, great stamina, Premier League experience.

Cons: Still developing tactically.

Creative Midfielder (3rd CM)
Frank would want a midfielder who can carry the ball and arrive late in the box — not a pure No.10.

1. Álex Baena (Villarreal)
Est. Cost: €25–30M

Pros: Good final third vision, intense pressing.

Cons: Not a defensive contributor.

2. Jesper Lindstrøm (Napoli)
Est. Cost: €25M

Pros: Frank liked him at Brentford; runs beyond strikers.

Cons: Napoli may demand premium.

Goalkeeper
Frank prefers calm, long-distribution keepers — like Raya.

1. Altay Bayındır (Manchester United backup)
Est. Cost: €5–10M

Pros: Huge frame, experienced, might want game time.

Cons: Not proven in PL yet.
