Chelsea are reportedly on the brink of agreeing a deal to hire former Liverpool recruitment chief Dave Fallows, who has been credited with a vital role in the Reds’ success over the past decade.
Fallows, most recently Liverpool’s director of scouting and recruitment, was part of the analytical revolution at Anfield following his arrival at the club in 2012. Working alongside Michael Edwards and Julian Ward, among others, he helped identify a number of signings which quickly became crucial to Liverpool’s on-field glory.
