TOTTENHAM performance director Gretar Steinsson is set to leave the club just under a year after being appointed.
The former Bolton and Iceland defender was brought in by Fabio Paratici last summer, having worked at Everton and Fleetwood in recruitment roles.

Managing director of football Paratici resigned in April and Steinsson, essentially the Italian’s No2, is now to go as well as Spurs look to change their club structure behind the scenes.
Incoming chief football officer Scott Munn – in effect No2 to chairman Daniel Levy – begins his role on July 1, taking responsibility for all football-related decisions at the North Londoners.
Paratici’s replacement is still being sought, while Simon Davies was promoted to academy director after Dean Rastrick left the position earlier this month to pursue new challenges.
The club have a big summer transfer window ahead as they look to give new manager Ange Postecoglu a squad that can compete for a Champions League spot.
The club failed to qualify for any sort of European competition last season after an 8th placed finish in the Premier League.
One item on the agenda is to sort out the future of star striker Harry Kane.
The England international has been linked with an exit from the North London side with Manchester United among his admiriers.
However Kane has one more year left to run on his contract and if a deal can not be agreed then he may walk out of Spurs for nothing next summer.

The club are also on the hunt for a new goalkeeper as captain Hugo Lloris appears set on an exit from the club.
Lloris told Nice–Matin: “We have reached an important moment, whether it be for the club or me.
“It’s the end of an era. I have a desire for something else.
“I will carefully study what is possible.”
One option for the Spurs appears to be Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario with the club trying to wrap up a £16.3milion deal with Serie A side Empoli.
