NEW Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is reportedly considering adding a former player to the club's board.

Boehly led the consortium who purchased Chelsea for £4.25billion and he wants to reshape the hierarchy.

The Daily Mail are claiming that a former Chelsea player could be put in a position of power.

Blues legend Petr Cech is already working behind the scenes as a technical and performance advisor.

He is believed to have worked closely with director Marina Granovskaia and chairman Bruce Buck in helping to identify and complete transfers.

However with Roman Abramovich having no control at Stamford Bridge the duo could depart.

Rumours suggest they will stay while Boehly builds his team but their long-term futures are in doubt.

Therefore, opportunities for ex-players could soon arise.

Chelsea wouldn't be the first club to put former players in charge of the club's business with Ajax employing Edwin van der Sar as chief executive.

Bayern Munich have gone down a similar path making Franz Beckenbauer an honorary president and Oliver Kahn is the club's CEO after he replaced former striker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The new board of directors are expected to have a busy summer transfer window to manage with key players like Antonio Rudiger leaving.

The future of others like Marcos Alonso and Romelu Lukaku also appear uncertain while Boehly has promised cash to spend on improving the squad.
