Monaco Sporting Director Paul Mitchell has admitted that he will 'one day' make a return to the Premier League and that recent links to Chelsea and Manchester United can only be seen as positive. The former Tottenham Hotspur recruitment expert has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, in addition to the likes of Michael Edwards and Andreas Berta following the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital takeover of the club.
Boehly is currently acting as Chelsea's interim sporting director in addition to his role of chairman of the Blues and has been directly involved in this summer's transfer negotiations, being the figure to manage Romelu Lukaku's return to Inter Milan. Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech have both left the club, with the former available for the duration of the transfer window in a capacity to help any transition.
With Thomas Tuchel's squad in need of rebuilding, the role has rarely been more crucial with a successful transfer window required. Any permanent fixture in the position would have a significant role in the new, future direction of the club.
