Chelsea plan to hire ex-Tottenham transfer expert as Todd Boehly prepares for summer overhaul

Chelsea have gone through plenty of change since Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital consortium completed a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea are plotting a move to hire former Tottenham and RB Leipzig transfer expert Paul Mitchell as they look to overhaul their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Blues have over 30 senior players at the club and Todd Boehly is looking to sell a number of first team stars ahead of next season.

Chelsea have freshened up their backroom staff throughout the season with Christopher Vivell becoming technical director at Stamford Bridge. The Daily Mail have now reported that the Blues want to bring Paul Mitchell to the club as they look to overhaul their playing squad.

Mitchell is an expert in the field of recruitment and has experience working with clubs at various levels of the English pyramid as well as with a host of clubs across Europe's top flights, including Monaco and RB Leipzig. Mitchell also has a strong relationship with Pochettino after they worked together at Southampton and Spurs.

If Pochettino is appointed, he will want to bring in a few of his own signings and trim down the playing squad. Chelsea will be hoping that Mitchell will come to the club and partner up with Pochettino once again, whilst being able to utilise his extensive list of contacts across Europe to help find new homes for some of their unwanted first team players.
