Tottenham eye Sebastian Kehl to lead recruitment overhaul Sebastian Kehl could be set for a swift return to football following his official departure from Borussia Dortmund. The 46-year-old left the Bundesliga giants this week after being replaced by Nils-Ole Book. However, Kehl is already exploring high-profile opportunities across Europe.

According to the Telegraph , Tottenham Hotspur have identified the German executive as a primary candidate to lead their sporting department. Spurs are desperately seeking stability after parting ways with former director Fabio Paratici in February. The North London club currently faces a significant crisis on and off the pitch.

Tottenham languish in 17th place in the Premier League table, precariously above the relegation zone. Manager Igor Tudor remains under intense scrutiny following the earlier dismissal of Thomas Frank. Prospective managerial targets like Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino are already being discussed for the summer.

Tottenham eye former Dortmund Chief Sebastian Kehl for new role Sebastian Kehl’s reputation as a world-class talent spotter makes him an attractive prospect for a Spurs rebuild. During his tenure at Dortmund, he was responsible for several high-impact signings that balanced technical quality with significant resale value. His most successful acquisitions included Nico Schlotterbeck, who joined from Freiburg for €20 million and became one of Europe’s most consistent centre-backs.
