Chelsea are plotting a move to hire former Tottenham and RB Leipzig transfer expert Paul Mitchell as they look to overhaul their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Blues have over 30 senior players at the club and Todd Boehly is looking to sell a number of first team stars ahead of next season.
Chelsea have spent more than any other Premier League club on new signings since Boehly arrived in west London - investing nearly £600million in just two transfer windows. Many of the new arrivals have not performed as expected, with the Blues languishing down in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Boehly is once again searching for a new permanent manager after taking the decision to sack Graham Potter - just six months after he replaced Thomas Tuchel - with former Spurs and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino the current favourite for the role. Frank Lampard has failed to change the Blues' form since making a return to the club, having lost five consecutive games in all competitions.
