Newcastle United are searching for an elite head of data and insight as part of their backroom setup.

The Magpies want to create a team that can allow them to find the best players in the world at a younger age.

The goal of the job, per the advert, is to construct a 'world-leading data and insight' and to support the club to 'underpin decision-making and drive value in the transfer market.'

Despite having Saudi Arabian ownership, Newcastle have to contend with Financial Fair Play.

Per Chronicle Live, such a limitation means they are always hoping to be more creative in the transfer market.

Having a top data setup would ensure they are identifying the right players quicker and possibly paying less to secure their services.
