Tottenham are chasing Manchester City coaching guru Jim Cassell.
The Mirror says Cassell is the brains behind City's glut of home-grown discoveries over the past decade, but his role at City has been reduced in the last year and he could be tempted to go.
The man behind the likes of Micah Richards and Nedum Onuoha coming through the City ranks is now on the fringes after Mark Hughes made a shake-up and the new owners started to look at importing foreign kids.
Spurs are looking for a top expert in that area - after initial choice Paul Hart chose to go back into management at QPR - and Cassell is the name on the top lips at White Hart Lane.
