Former Tottenham scout David Webb sends warning to Premier League clubs over coronavirus impacting summer transfer window
Jul 13, 2020
Recruitment expert David Webb has warned that the coronavirus pandemic will affect the way that all clubs below the top six trade when the transfer window reopens.
Webb has worked in recruitment for a number of years at both first-team and youth level, and has recently left his position as Huddersfield Town’s head of football following ten months in the role.
Prior to his spell with Huddersfield, he also held recruitment positions at both Tottenham Hotspur, where he worked closely with Mauricio Pochettino, as well as AFC Bournemouth and served as technical director at Swedish outfit Ostersunds, too.
The coronavirus pandemic has thrown up numerous challenges for all sectors, including football, with lower league clubs losing most of their revenue and League’s One and Two, as well as the National League, coming to a premature end, with no return date for next season agreed.
All games will have to be played behind closed doors for the foreseeable future, while clubs have also faced obstacles regarding out of contract players, with some, including the likes of Ryan Fraser and Lyle Taylor, refusing to sign new deals, meaning they left for free at the end of June.
With teams up and down the country losing most of their income, Webb thinks it may lead to a rethink behind the scenes ahead of the transfer window as well as more clubs relying on the loan market.
