Chelsea are hoping to bring another key man from Brighton to the club after Graham Potter and his backroom staff joined seven weeks ago. football.london understands talks have been held with Paul Winstanley to join the club’s new-look transfer team. Winstanley worked on transfers at Brighton with Kyle Macaulay, who joined as a recruitment analyst in September.
Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel as manager in September. After doing so, they quickly appointed Macaulay with Bruno Saltor, Ben Roberts, Bjorn Hamberg and Billy Reid with him from Brighton to Cobham.
The group were all influential parts of the Brighton success since Potter took over on the south coast in 2019 and already looks to be great addition to Chelsea. Potter is unbeaten in his first eight games, with five wins and five clean sheets in the process, and faces RB Salzburg for the second time this evening in a bid to secure qualification to the Champions League knockout stages.
