Chelsea are planning a move for Norwich City football chief Stuart Webber.
The Sun says Webber, 38, who has been sporting director at Carrow Road since 2017, is a leading candidate to take over at Stamford Bridge.
During the summer, new Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly stepped in as interim sporting director to help lead the club's transfer strategy after lead negotiator and director Marina Granovskaia left the club. She was followed by technical and performance adviser Petr Cech.
Chelsea are aiming to appoint a sporting director before the World Cup begins in November and new manager Graham Potter will have a say in the process.
With a deal for a technical director almost wrapped up - Christopher Vivell has agreed to join after his abrupt departure from RB Leipzig - Chelsea are now reigniting their search for a sporting director.
Webber has earned a good reputation within football at Norwich, even though two successful promotions from the Championships were followed by two nightmare seasons in the Premier League.
