Christopher Vivell is on the verge of becoming the new Technical Director at Chelsea, according to reports.
New owner Todd Boehly could be about to make one of his most important additions behind the scenes as the Blues hierarchy begins to take shape.
Should the move come off for the former RB Leipzig chief, it would be the first sporting director at Stamford Bridge since the departure of Michael Emenalo in 2017. Legendary shot-stopper Petr Cech was previously the technical and performance advisor but left in the aftermath of the takeover which saw Marina Granovskaia also depart.
