Tottenham have made multiple changes to their executive team over the past few months.
It comes after Tottenham confirmed Daniel Levy had stepped down as executive chairman in September after spending 24 years in the role.
Spurs appointed Peter Charrington as non-executive chairman following Levy’s departure, while Vinai Venkatesham is leading the day-to-day operations after joining as CEO earlier this year.
It was confirmed in October Fabio Paratici has returned to Tottenham as sporting director, with Johan Lange also promoted from technical director to sporting director.
In a new development, The Athletic reported on 16 December Tottenham are in advanced talks to appoint Carlos Raphael Moersen as their new director of football operations.

Moersen has spent the past 10 years working as director of football transactions for Man City’s owners, the City Football Group.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider about Moersen’s anticipated arrival, Borson said: “I think you have to trust the management team to know what they need and how they’re going to structure it going forward.
“There’s clearly a change in terms of what they want to do from a budgetary perspective and also from a strategic perspective, so you are going to inevitably start to see additional people being added.”
The Lewis family, who own a majority stake in Tottenham, have taken a more active role in the running of the club since Levy’s departure was confirmed.
Tottenham leadership verdict shared as new arrival heads in
Borson insisted “very sensible people” are making the decisions at Spurs despite suggestions there are now too many senior voices.
“It’s very hard from the outside to assess whether there’s too many or not enough, particularly on the business side, just because we don’t see it very often,” said Borson.
“It’s not the same as on the playing side, where at least we get it in front of our eyes every week. We see what they’ve got. They only show their hand on the executive side, obviously, so it’s very hard to know.
“Even the top-level people and the executive level people, it’s very hard to know the quality and depth that they have below them from the outside.
“I think you have to trust the organisations to get that right, and they’ve got very sensible people there, so I don’t think there’s much risk of overdoing it. I would trust them to bring in a high-quality executive team.”
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank has come under pressure at Tottenham in recent weeks after his side have slipped to 14th in the Premier League table.
