Chelsea's hunt for a sporting director has turned to Norwich City's Stuart Webber, according to reports from CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs. Webber is said to be one of several candidates spoken to last week, with his CV said to have impressed the Blues given the diversity of his work.
It comes as part-owner Todd Boehly continues searching for the perfect candidate to take the role, having already spent months eyeing many potential options. The American businessman has a background in sport, but hadn't in football before taking over as part of a consortium in the summer.
After a clearing of backroom staff from the previous regime, Boehly then got to work as an interim sporting director, helping previous boss Thomas Tuchel land a number of transfer targets. Chelsea smashed the Premier League record for the biggest spend in a transfer window with £271million spent in a much-needed squad revamp.
