Paul Winstanley Chelsea role announced in boost to Todd Boehly transfer plans

Chelsea have announced Paul Winstanley in a new role as Director of Global Talent and Transfers.

The 43-year-old joins the club from Brighton only two months after Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in a similar move from the south coast. Crucially, he is able to start the role immediately and is set to play a key role as the January transfer window approaches.

Winstanley is the third appointment at director level that Chelsea have announced after snapping up Laurence Stewart from Monaco, and Southampton's Joe Shields in their new look recruitment department, although he is not able to start at SW6 until he is finished with Southampton.
