Tottenham Hotspur are set to appoint Scott Munn as chief football officer.
The Australian is currently chief executive of City Football Group China, having previously held the same position at Melbourne City FC.
A move to the Premier League club would be his first role in European football, with his remit also taking in the club’s academy and women’s team.
Tottenham are seeking to boost their off-field staff and improve the structure of their football operations.
Fabio Paratici recently stepped back from his role as managing director of football pending the outcome of his appeal against a worldwide ban from football.
Performance director, Gretar Steinsson, and head of football strategy, Andy Scoulding, are currently helping to fill the void left by Paratici.
Paratici, pending his appeal, would report to Munn, with the Australian adding a further level of experience and expertise.
Manager Antonio Conte left the club by mutual consent last month and his former assistant, Cristian Stellini, has been appointed until the end of the season.
