Todd Boehly is continuing to shake up things behind the scenes at Chelsea with Christopher Vivell now being confirmed the latest appointment to their recruitment team as technical director. He was previously responsible for recruitment at RB Leipzig.
football.london understood that Vivell joining Chelsea had been in place since October, but the formalities preventing an announcement have now been cleared. The 36-year-old began his new role just a few weeks before the January transfer window and has wasted little time in getting to work.
The Blues are on the verge of completing two new signings with David Datro Fofana set to complete a £10.5million move to Stamford Bridge from Molde. Brazilian talent Andrey Santos is also expected to join Chelsea in a deal worth around £17.5million from Vasco da Gama.
