Report: Spurs poach senior scout from Southampton to join Postecoglou project

According to The Athletic, Southampton’s senior academy scout Danny Moody has now agreed to leave the South Coast club to join Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs are changing their scouting system

There have been some wholesale changes to Tottenham’s academy as well as first-team recruitment over the last 12 months, with the Scott Munn and Johan Lange era being characterised by an increased focus on signing the best young players around the globe.

We have seen an increased focus on signing teenagers like Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Luka Vuskovic, Yang Min-hyuk, and more.

There has been a turnover in personnel across all departments, with the club confirming earlier this week that David Pleat had stepped back from his scouting duties.

New face arrives through the door

According to The Athletic, Tottenham’s ranks have now been boosted by the arrival of a top scout in the form of Danny Moody.

Moody has been with Southampton for the past three years, having been a senior academy scout, overseeing the club’s recruitment for the Under-16 to Under-18 age groups.

He had previously earned similar roles at both Fulham and Liverpool and will now arrive at N17 and help the Lilywhites in their quest to bring the best young talent into their academy at Hotspur Way.

Spurs Web Opinion

The amount of turnover we have seen in the scouting and coaching department does not come as a surprise, with Scott Munn (and subsequently Lange) being brought into the club to oversee structural changes.

Hopefully, we will see the fruits of these changes in the next few years at Hotspur Way.
