Paul Mitchell's move from Southampton to Tottenham is on personal recommendation of manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Mitchell has offered his resignation as head of recruitment at Saints so to join Pochettino at White Hart Lane.
The Daily Mail says it represents quite a change of heart by Tottenham's head coach because he has left Oscar Perarnau, his sporting director at his previous club Espanyol, high and dry since moving to England.
There was a time when Pochettino wanted Perarnau at Southampton and had argued his case for his arrival with Nico Cortese. He remained loyal to Mitchell.
There will be more upheaval at Spurs in the coming weeks as chairman Daniel Levy recruits some full-time scouts to work with Mitchell.
