Chelsea are planning talks with Bayer Leverkusen’s Tim Steidten about his role as sporting director.
Since Todd Boehly took charge of Chelsea, the American businessman has made sweeping changes to the structure of the club.
Physiotherapist Thierry Laurent was recently told his services were no longer required, and club doctor Paco Biosca was also asked to leave the club.
