Tottenham have effectively shut down their player recruitment operations as a result of the Coronavirus crisis.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Wednesday how Newcastle had shut down their scouting department until further notice.
And Spurs’ recruitment team, led by chief scout Steve Hitchen, have also been impacted.
Chairman Daniel Levy confirmed on Tuesday that all non-playing staff had taken 20 per cent pay cuts for April and May and furloughed where appropriate, which makes them eligible for Government aid during the Covid-19 crisis.
But there was doubt over whether Hitchen and his team would still be working as normal.
