Tottenham to appoint new head of academy operations

Tottenham Hotspur are set to appoint Charlton academy manager Tom Pell into a leading position in their youth-set up.

Championship club Charlton last week confirmed that Pell would leave the club in December to take up a role at a Premier League side.

And BBC Sport understands Pell will join Spurs in the coming months where he will take up the role of head of academy operations and administration.

He will replace Danetta Powell, who is leaving Tottenham.

Pell was appointed as the Addicks' academy manager in May 2022, arriving from Cambridge where he spent 16 years.

Now, he will move across London to take up the senior position with Spurs' academy set-up.
