Newcastle United are reportedly set to raid Chelsea for a number of backroom staff members as they look to reshape the club following their takeover.
The Magpies were bought by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund last October and have launched a recruitment offensive as they look to put the club among the best in Europe. That is said to have led them to Chelsea academy bosses as they look to replicate the success of the Blues in churning out academy players able to develop into first-team players.
It comes as Chelsea bidder Stephen Pagliuca has shared his "exciting vision" for the club should he be successful in becoming the Blues' next owner. And Chelsea have been knocked out of the Champions League following a brave performance at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium against Real Madrid.
