Spurs’ former recruitment chief Paul Mitchell: ‘You need new signings year on year just to continue being competitive at the very top’
New York TimesPaul Mitchell’s long road to Leipzig started in the summer of 2014 when he was director of recruitment for Southampton trying to rebuild a squad that had been ransacked by the Premier League’s top clubs. Mitchell sees a continuation between his work at Tottenham and his work for Leipzig, saying that he is trying to “align similar principles of work” in the two jobs. But the Tottenham fans would definitely look back on that year in particular and say they got more than their money’s worth for their season ticket.” Almost three years after his departure, Mitchell was still thrilled to see players he signed — Son, Dele, Alderweireld, Trippier — star as Spurs reached the 2019 Champions League final. It’s crucial to continue being competitive at the very, very top echelons of the game.” That is why Mitchell is determined to keep Leipzig refreshed every year.
