Franco Baldini is already working on transfer plans for Tottenham.

The Daily Mail says Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is working in tandem with incoming director of football Baldini in trying to land the club's preferred options in the transfer market.

The introduction of Baldini is viewed as a positive step by manager Andre Villas-Boas, who feels the former England coach's contacts can help propel the club's transfer dealings to a new level.
