ASRomaLive.it have claimed that Roma are concerned about Tottenham Hotspur making an approach for their general manager Tiago Pinto, with the North London club now thought to be on the lookout for a new sporting director.
Scott Munn officially began his work as Spurs’ chief football officer last week, with one of his top priorities said to be to find a new director of football to replace Fabio Paratici (The Athletic).
It was confirmed a couple of days ago that Spurs chief scout Leonardo Gabbanini, who played a key role in the club’s summer recruitment after Paratici’s departure, had left the club, with the decision thought to be linked to the Lilywhites’ search for a new sporting director (Football.London).

Scott Munn and Daniel Levy would have compiled a list of potential candidates a while ago and one would expect Pinto to be very much on the list as he is undoubtedly one of the most respected directors in the game.
