Chelsea has secured another key figure from Brighton with Sam Jewell set to join their recruitment team. Jewell who served as Brighton’s head of recruitment will take up a senior position at Chelsea capitalizing on a global role within the club’s multi-club operation.

The move aligns with Chelsea’s strategic changes following ownership by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. The club aims to enhance data-driven scouting and analytics drawing inspiration from Brighton’s successful recruitment model.

Chelsea has previously recruited talent from Brighton including manager Graham Potter and continues to strengthen its team for long terms success. Jewell’s departure from Brighton will see his responsibilities handled by Mike Cave and George Holmes.
