Tottenham chief scout Steve Hitchin has rejected an offer from Olympique Marseille.

The Mirror says Hitchen has turned down the chance to move to Marseille as Director of Football.

It is understood that Mauricio Pochettino persuaded Hitchen to turn down Marseille's approach when the French club made contact last week.

But the highly-rated Spurs Chief Scout and head of recruitment is still on the radar of Manchester United and several Premier League club's.

Hitchen has masterminded the recruitment of Lucas Moura, Davinson Sanchez, Fernando Llorente and Juan Foyth whilst at the club.
