Daniel Levy hopes to revolutionise Tottenham's approach to recruitment and has reportedly held talks with betting experts over developing a data-driven model.
The success of Premier League clubs such as Brentford and Brighton using such an approach appears to have prompted a change of heart from the Spurs chairman, who had previously been sceptical of such ideas.
The Daily Telegraph report Levy wishes to use data to more closely analyse over-performing players in smaller leagues around the world.
Levy has been the subject of supporter anger this season after Spurs slipped back from being on course for Champions League qualification to potentially missing out on Europe altogether.
