Chelsea have appointed Southampton's Joe Shields as Co-director of Recruitment and Talent as Todd Boehly continues to build his backroom team at Stamford Bridge.
The new Chelsea majority shareholder has been looking to build a team around him in order to achieve his strategic goals and achieve value in the transfer market after becoming the highest-spending club in Europe during the summer.
He has been seeking to fill the void left by Bruce Buck, Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech after they left the club in the wake of the new ownership in West London. Now, they have settled on Southampton's Shields to join the club, having been impressed with the work done in this summer's transfer market.
