Taking to Twitter with an exciting update, reliable reporter Alasdair Gold has shared what managing director Fabio Paratici is 'currently' doing at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lowdown: Paratici era in full flow...

The Italian transfer chief's arrival at N17 over the summer was met with promise as chairman Daniel Levy heralded the 'tough negotiator' and what he could bring to Spurs.

Paratici's already overseen his first Tottenham transfer window, managing to shift some players off the wage bill in permanent departures for the likes of Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Erik Lamela, Juan Foyth and Moussa Sissoko while Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga left on free transfers (Transfermarkt).

Meanwhile, the 49-year-old orchestrated deals to bring in Pierluigi Gollini, Emerson Royal, Bryan Gil, Cristian Romero and Pape Matar Sarr (Transfermarkt) - the latter of whom will officially link up with Spurs following another season at FC Metz.

While Paratici failed to bring in some of his transfer targets, like Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic for instance, it was a fairly solid window but senior transfers aren't his sole responsibility.

The Latest: Gold shares exciting Paratici update...

In an exciting Twitter update, Gold has explained what Paratici 'currently undertaking' right now at Spurs.

Indeed, the former Juventus sporting director is apparently orchestrating a behind-the-scenes shake up at Tottenham as he overhauls the club's scouting set up alongside fellow official Steve Hitchen.

According to the reliable journalist, Paratici plans to 'bring it in line with Europe's top clubs' among 'other departments' as he aims to ensure Spurs snap up the best young players in world football (football.london).

The Verdict: Paratici cooking...

As the Lilywhites continue to nurture, arguably, some of their brightest starlets in Oliver Skipp, Dane Scarlett and Dilan Markanday, to name a few, supporters may be optimistic Paratici also has eyes on bringing in some talent from the outside.

He is set to play a major role in the Tottenham project and has perhaps excited fans the most with his addition of new boss Antonio Conte, a serial winner with trophies galore at the highest level.

Conte will need backing to ensure his vision is realised, and this may not necessarily mean splashing the cash on a plethora of incoming senior stars.

As evident by Spurs success stories like Harry Kane in recent years, their academy and scouting could play a major role as Paratici aims to lead their assent back to the summit of European football.

If they're to hit the heights previously met under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham's scouting infrastructure could come as an underestimated key cog.
