Talks advanced: Tottenham Hotspur close in on move for ex-Bundesliga man | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are now closing in on the appointment of Sebastian Kehl as their new sporting director.

According to Ben Jacobs, the former Borussia Dortmund director is the leading candidate to take over at the North London club.

Sebastian Kehl could be a superb addition

The North London club will need major surgery on the squad during the summer transfer window, and they need a capable sporting director. Kehl could prove to be an interesting addition for them.

He has impressed in Germany with Dortmund, and he will look to make his mark in English football with Tottenham. Despite having quality players at their disposal, Tottenham clearly need to plug multiple gaps in the starting lineup. It remains to be seen whether the German can bring in the right players to improve the team and plug the squad’s weaknesses.

Can Kehl help Spurs build a top team?

Tottenham are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League, but they have an ambitious project. They should be doing a lot better, and Kehl could help them build a formidable team and bounce back strongly. They have done well to appoint a quality manager like Roberto De Zerbi. Appointing a quality sporting director is the ideal next move for them.

Meanwhile, the opportunity of joining a Premier League club will be exciting for Kehl. He knows how to work with limited resources, and he could be the ideal fit for Tottenham. Dortmund have excelled at maximising the resources at their disposal and bringing in elite young talents. He will now be expected to do a similar job at the North London club.
