Chelsea part-owner Todd Boehly is set to continue his mass overhaul of the Blues behind the scenes as he eyes a new director of recruitment. It comes after the American businessman began a huge turnover of key staff in the club's football and operational staff, looking to get it working to their ideal model.
It's still relatively early days for the Clearlake-Boehly consortium, who took over in May but had to navigate through a summer transfer window with a record spend of £271million. All that was done under the guise of Boehly as an interim sporting director as he eyed further changes to the infrastructure.
The LA Dodgers owner has been on record discussing several aspects of changing the club, including the likes of using a multi-club model as well as making better use of the academy at their disposal. The latest move is to hire a director of recruitment - a role that has been left vacant by the outgoing Scott McLachlan last month.
