Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that the club's head of recruitment Paul Mitchell will leave the club at "a future date" after he decided to resign from his position.

Mitchell moved to White Hart Lane with manager Mauricio Pochettino in 2014 after working with the Argentine at Southampton.

It has been reported by The Telegraph that Mitchell, who helped sign Kevin Wimmer, Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Trippier, Vincent Janssen and Victor Wanyama, had a fall-out with chairman Daniel Levy.

Mitchell told the club's official website: "I have greatly enjoyed my time at the club and it will continue to be my sole focus until such time as I move on to new challenges."

Levy has suggested that Spurs' summer spending is not completely over as he has confirmed that Mitchell will continue his work throughout the remainder of the transfer window.

"Mitch has been with us for two years and has created a well staffed department and run our recruitment processes for the past two years," said Levy. "We understand and respect his wish to consider new avenues.

"The priority right now is the final few weeks of the transfer window and I know that, whilst most of our business has been completed, Mitch is keen to ensure we start the season in the best position possible."

Mitchell played for MK Dons and Wigan Athletic during his football career.
