Rob Mackenzie is to be named new Tottenham chief scout.

It was confirmed this week that MacKenzie was leaving Aston Villa to follow Johan Lange to Spurs.

Lange took charge as technical director at Tottenham last week and the Dane is bringing in MacKenzie as his chief scout.

It marks a return to Spurs for MacKenzie, who has worked in the past with the Londoners.

Mackenzie counts Leicester City, Derby County and Belgian side OH Leuven as former employers and was with Villa for the last three seasons.
