Jesse Marsch has told Chelsea exactly what they're missing with director of football target Victor Orta as Todd Boehly circles.
The Leeds sporting director is on a shortlist of candidates Chelsea are looking at as Boehly plans to implement a new footballing structure at Stamford Bridge over the coming weeks and months. The Blues had been hopeful of recruiting RB Salzburg's Christoph Freund but he had a late U-turn.
Elsewhere there are hopes that Michael Edwards could be persuaded out of his break from the game whilst Tim Steidten of Bayer Leverkusen, Atalanta scout Lee Congerton and Benfica's Rui Pedro Braz are all candidates for the role alongside Orta and RB Leipzig's Christopher Vivell.
