Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly, is looking to bring in a Sporting Director before the World Cup kicks off in November and the new Head Coach Graham Potter will be involved in the selection process.

Boehly along with co-owner Behdad Eghbali have met with several potential candidates and will make an announcement before the Mid-Season domestic break.

This will allow the new Sporting Director time to influence planning for the January transfer window.

Ex-Liverpool Sporting Director, Michael Edwards has already told Chelsea last month that he did not wish to be considered for the role but it seems  Edwards will change his mind if approached again.
