Chelsea are set to poach Tottenham’s chief commercial officer Todd Kline, according to widespread reports.
Kline has been placed on gardening leave by Spurs having stepped down from his role and is on his way to Stamford Bridge to link up with Todd Boehly et al.
The American spent three years at Tottenham and was responsible for increasing the north London club’s commercial revenue by more than £30m.
Kline will now join Chelsea in a ‘senior business role’ and it is thought that he will play a part in the Blues’ plans over a potential new stadium when it comes to naming rights.
