Liverpool's European scouting network has been axed.
The Guardian says the arrival of Reds football chief Damien Comolli in November was destined to have repercussions for the existing European scouting team.
He quickly brought on board Steve Hitchen, who was Tottenham Hotspur's principal overseas scout and is based in France, and the former chief scout Eduardo Macia left the club shortly after Christmas.
Macia has now been followed by all but one of Liverpool's European scouts as Comolli restructures that department.
