AS Monaco football chief Paul Mitchell is a target for Chelsea.
The Sun says the former Tottenham sporting director is being lined up for a return to London by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
Key to the move is the imminent appointment of former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.
While his friendship with Pochettino is a major attraction, Boehly is also aware of Mitchell's extensive network.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United were linked with him last summer.
