It has been a busy week at Tottenham Hotspur with regard to incomings – both on the playing and non-playing staff front.

On the field, Spurs completed their first signing of the January window – bringing in England midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £35m on a five-year deal.

But there has been movement off the field, too.

On Thursday, Carlos Raphael Moersen was appointed as Director of Football Operations.

Details of his arrival come a day after it was confirmed sporting director Fabio Paratici will leave in February to join Fiorentina, although Spurs have said Moersen will fill a newly created role.

And, in the last hour, it was confirmed that former Netherlands defender John Heitinga has joined the team as an assistant coach.

Heitinga started the season in charge of Dutch giants Ajax but was sacked in November following a poor start to the campaign.
