Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy recognises the club is lagging behind in their scouting.
The Daily Mail says Levy is determined to shake up their existing scouting network.
Spurs have fallen behind the top teams in Europe because they do not have enough scouting staff out on the road watching matches before statistics appear on the widely used Scout7 and WyScout computer systems.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal have scouts based around the world and they are identifying talent long before they appear on the computer system used by most Premier League teams.
That has given them a competitive advantage over Tottenham, but Levy is determined to put things right at White Hart Lane.
