Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks to appoint Manchester City executive Carlos Raphael Moersen as head of football operations, journalist David Ornstein has revealed.
The North London side are expected to reach an agreement for the highly-rated executive, who has spent the last 10 years working for clubs within the City Football Group.
Moersen currently serves as the company’s director of football transactions, a role that includes negotiating contracts with current and potential Manchester City players.
His move to Tottenham would mark another high-profile executive change in North London, following former chairman Daniel Levy’s departure in September.
