Tottenham's emerging talent manager Chris Perkins has left the club, football.london understands.
Perkins made a name for himself during five years as head of academy recruitment at Derby, with a high percentage of first team players coming through the club's youth set-up, before he made the move to Everton in 2020.
Just a year later and after beginning an appraisal of Tottenham's scouting network for first team and academy players, the club's managing director of football Fabio Paratici and then technical performance director Steve Hitchen brought in Perkins to identify the best young talent from the 17 to 21 age bracket to bring into the club's academy.
