Behind the scenes, Tottenham Hotspur is undergoing a lot of transformation.
As of last month, the club’s newly designated Chief Football Officer, Scott Munn, began serving in that capacity.
Johan Lange, a former Aston Villa player, has been hired as the club’s new sporting director. He will begin in November and be in charge of hiring, analytics, and talent spotting for the senior and academy teams.
Another Aston Villa player is reportedly on the verge of joining Lange at Spurs, according to recent reports.
The head of football analysis at Aston Villa, Frederik Leth, may transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, according to a report by TipsBladet as published by Last Word on Spurs.
As stated in the post, Lange and Leth have collaborated for a number of years and have known each other while Lange was a player at FC Copenhagen, where Leth worked in the scouting division.
All of the changes since the summer have been extremely good. Ange Postecoglou’s hiring, who arrived and immediately altered the atmosphere at the club, was an excellent choice.
And each of these further alterations suggests that the club is undergoing a good shift. Additionally, it is said that Levy will refrain from interfering in football-related things in order to allow the new hires to excel in their positions.
Everything seemed to be going well for the team, which is now top of the league and has yet to lose. Tottenham supporters have reason to be optimistic about their future.

Tottenham to promote Alfie Dorrington as Eric Dier replacement
In order to replace Eric Dier in the starting lineup, Tottenham is reportedly considering an internal promotion. Alfie Dorrington, an 18-year-old star for their U21 team, appears to be a strong contender to take the place of the seasoned player who is getting closer to leaving the organization before the January transfer window.
Ange Postecoglou has a strong starting duo on defense, but more depth is needed, as can be shown by taking a quick look at Tottenham’s defensive alternatives. With Micky van de Ven’s arrival seen as a significant signing that has bolstered their defensive ranks, the club decided to make some alterations to their backline.
We recently reviewed Tottenham’s performance this season under Postecoglou, and we found some concerns regarding their ability to contend for the championship in May of the following year. Since the Australian only has a few defensive options besides Romero and Van de Ven, their lack of defensive depth stood out as a major issue.
In contrast, Eric Dier seems to have been shut out of Postecoglou’s first team while they let Davinson Sanchez to leave.Sporting CP, the player’s previous club, has expressed interest in the 29-year-old, and Roma is also interested in signing him for nothing.
All things considered, it looks like Dier will quit the team, making room for another defender to show up. Whatever the 29-year-old’s plans are for the future, Tottenham has been linked to a new center back ahead of January, with names like Victor Nelsson, Edmond Tapsoba, and Marc Guehi all being mentioned as potential targets.
They are looking into internal options to replace Dier, however Postecoglou could want to bring at least one veteran center-back. The 29-year-old’s spot in the squad may now be taken by 18-year-old Alfie Dorrington, who has been identified by the team.
While Postecoglou and Tottenham do not intend for the 18-year-old to play a significant role in their first-team plans, they are examining the possibility of progressively elevating him to a squad player. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to promote from inside instead of spending money on an expensive option on the market.
Given that Postecoglou already has a reliable starting duo, it is a smart move. A spot in the squad is open due to the likely arrival of another senior center-back, which would benefit someone like Dorrington. In order to compete with Dorrington for a spot on the team, they have also agreed to a deal to bring Croatian teenager Luka Vuskovic in for the following season.
Overall, the strategy appears sound to maintain Tottenham’s objectives of signing players from their U21 team. The possible elevation of players like Dorrington might have a positive overall impact on Postecoglou’s goal of assembling an exciting team with balance and competitiveness to do great things in the future.
