Tottenham Hotspur are assessing Krug as a potential addition to their recruitment department, with several names still being discussed as the club looks to bolster its backroom set-up in the coming weeks.

Ben Jacobs has revealed that Spurs are one of the sides tracking Krug, describing him as among the candidates under consideration while the club works through a shortlist. The update points to an ongoing process rather than a move at an advanced stage.

Jacobs’ line suggests interest from multiple clubs, with Tottenham included in that group. There is no indication at this point of formal talks or an agreement, and no role title has been specified.

The timing hints at Spurs aiming to refine their talent identification and recruitment processes ahead of the months to come, but the situation remains fluid as discussions continue internally. Any appointment would reflect a broader emphasis across the Premier League on strengthening decision-making structures behind the scenes.

As it stands, this is one to file under monitoring. Spurs’ stance could yet develop if their internal review narrows the field, but for now Krug is simply a name on the list.
