Everton’s senior recruitment co-ordinator, Lawrence Stewart, is set to leave the club and move to RB Leipzig, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The move comes as Marcel Brands plans his overhaul of the scouting team at the club after joining the club last week.
Brands replaced Steve Walsh, who was relieved of his duties following what the club thought was a season of major underachievement, despite spending freely.
Everton spent over £150 million on transfers last summer, but struggled to maintain a top half position until March.
Stewart’s move to Germany may come as a surprise. He joined Liverpool from Manchester City but will now team up with the recently appointed head of recruitment Paul Mitchell, who played a big part in Dele Alli joining Tottenham.
There are many others under pressure at Finch Farm. Martyn Glover, the chief scout, faces an uncertain future with him being expected to take a lot of the blame for their failure from signings last year.
