Tottenham Hotspur have announced the appointment of Carlos Raphael Moersen as director of football operations and Dan Lewindon as performance director, as they prepare to bid farewell to Fabio Paratici in a behind-the-scenes re-structuring.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to sign a new goalkeeper at the end of the season, and Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen has emerged as a key target.
Verbruggen has become one of the most highly rated shot stoppers in the Premier League this season and is on Johan Lange’s list of targets.
Tottenham have shown their support to Thomas Frank by announcing the arrival of another member to the coaching team, who previously featured for Liverpool.
We are delighted to welcome John Heitinga to the Club as First Team Assistant Coach, joining Thomas Frank’s coaching staff.
Thomas Frank is holding his press conference on Thursday ahead of Tottenham's Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday.
