Tottenham look set to be reunited with Fabio Paratici in the coming weeks.
Paratici, 53, is edging closer to a Tottenham return two years after the Managing Director of Football made the decision to resign from his role at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This comes after Paratici and Johan Lange were spotted in talks at Tottenham ahead of the Super Cup clash against PSG in Udine.
Since then, the Lilywhites have picked up some positive results under Thomas Frank, with Spurs most recently beating Manchester City at the Etihad.
As a result, the latest development surrounding Paratici is set to come as a further boost to the North London Club this summer.
