Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is having extra cameras installed at their Cobham training centre.

The Blues have applied for planning permission for the “player analysis" technology at their Cobham base so that they can monitor the first team, women's team and youth teams, says The Sun.

In papers filed at the local council, planning agent Nancy Stuart says: “The club is now seeking to enhance its facilities through installing cameras around several of the pitches, which will enable coaches to provide more thorough feedback.

“Technology has been playing a bigger role in coaching in a wide range of sports in recent years

“Installing cameras at Cobham will allow training sessions to be recorded from a range of angles and heights.

“It is considered that this solution is preferable to the use of drones.

“The scheme will use leading camera and software technology to route back into the office for immediate analysis."

Chelsea, who already have CCTV security at Cobham, need permission for the cameras as the site is on green belt land.

Elmbridge Council planners are expected to make a decision later this month.
