Chelsea are set to pull off another big money swoop - this time for their next groundsman.
They sacked head groundsman Jason Griffin after 30 years at the club as well as his son Reisse. But they are ready to appoint former Real Madrid and Arsenal groundsman Paul Burgess who is widely regarded as the leader in his field.
Burgess left Real Madrid in 2020 to pursue other interests but won rave reviews for the way he kept the pitch at the Bernabeu having built up his reputation while working at Arsenal. In keeping with recent standards under Todd Boehly, Chelsea were determined to get the best man for the job at Stamford Bridge.
