Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Carlos Raphael Moersen as director of football operations.

Details of his arrival come a day after it was confirmed sporting director Fabio Paratici will leave in February to join Fiorentina, although Spurs have said Moersen will fill a newly created role.

A club statement added that Moersen will lead the club's football administration, player care and training ground operations, as well as joining the club's executive leadership team and overseeing women's football at the club.

Spurs have said the new position is "part of the club's approach to build a modern, high-performance football structure to drive long-term success".

Moersen previously worked for the City Football Group, most recently as director of football transactions.

Meanwhile, fan group Change for Tottenham have a protest planned before Saturday's game against West Ham citing frustrations with the club's hierarchy over transfer strategy, ticket pricing and a lack of clarity around the director of football role.
