Breaking News: 34-year-old who was “formally approached” by Chelsea  Agrees to join Rangers

Sam Jewell, the head of recruitment at Brighton and a potential replacement for Nils Koppen,

decides to join Chelsea four months after being “formally approached” by Rangers.

The 34-year-old is scheduled to go to Stamford Bridge in November, but he has been placed

on gardening leave while the terms of the agreement are finalized.

Sam Jewell is the most recent member of the Chelsea backroom crew to leave Brighton,

joining a whopping eight other non-playing staff members taken by the West Londoners.

After taking over from American billionaire Todd Boehly, Chelsea has changed its approach to transfers,

and the Blues are hopeful that this early investment in the club’s recruitment will help.

Brighton has set the standard for date-driven, analytical hiring, and Chelsea’s big spenders obviously value that.

Rangers “approached” Sam Jewell, who was headed to Chelsea.

It’s interesting to note that before Chelsea was suggested as a potential suitor for the Brighton employee,

Rangers allegedly “formally approached” Sam Jewell.

In October of last year, Fabrizio Romano asserted that the Ibrox team intended to appoint Jewell

as their new “Technical Director” in place of Ross Wilson, who was leaving.

At the time, there was some misunderstanding regarding the connections, as Brighton-based

local sources seemed to reject allegations that Rangers were interested.

It’s interesting to note that Sam Jewell’s transfer to Chelsea occurred only a week after he was connected to a

comparable move to Manchester United.

Dan Ashworth, the sporting director of Newcastle United, was reportedly interested in adding Jewell

to his squad because the Red Devils were about to steal him.
