Football club Leeds United’s head of player recruitment Martyn Glover is poised to move to rival club Sunderland.

A spokesperson for Sunderland told Recruiter the move had not yet taken place. However, a Leeds spokesperson confirmed to Recruiter the appointment is in the process of going through, subject to sorting out contractual issues.

The move would reunite Glover with former colleague Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce who worked with Glover when they were both at West Ham United FC.
