Chelsea are poised to take Christoph Freund from Red Bull Salzburg as their sporting director. An agreement is close on personal terms with the 45-year-old and talks are under way with the Austrian club to close a deal.
Freund holds the same role at Salzburg and Chelsea’s co-owner Todd Boehly, who appointed himself as interim sporting director in June, wants Freund to work closely with him and the new manager, Graham Potter.
