SPURS STANCE EXPLAINED AS EX-CHELSEA DIRECTOR SPOTTED LAST NIGHT
Christopher Vivell, a former Chelsea player, saw Tottenham Hotspur play Liverpool, but a transfer to North London is not anticipated.
According to Matt Law of The Telegraph, Vivell watched Tottenham’s match against Liverpool from the stands.
In December 2022, Vivell was appointed technical director of Chelsea after previously holding the position at RB Leipzig.
But only seven months after his arrival, Vivell’s stint at Chelsea came to an end in the summer when the Blues put him on gardening leave.
Christopher Vivell has been seen at a Tottenham Hotspur game.
It has now been confirmed that Vivell watched Tottenham defeat Liverpool 2-1 on Saturday night.
Given the fact that Tottenham is looking for a new sporting director, that will have sent tongues wagging.
Nevertheless, Law asserts that Tottenham sources are adamant that Vivell is not a candidate for that position.
The German was apparently only watching a game as he plans his next move because Spurs are very convinced that Saturday’s visit was not a precursor to a move to North London.
Due to Vivell’s gardening leave, things have become a little more complicated, and Tottenham may feel that other contenders are a better fit.
Tottenham closing in on new appointmentThe hiring procedure at Tottenham is being modified.
Fabio Paratici, a former director of football, has departed the organization, and top scout Leonardo Gabbanini left the team earlier this month.
Tottenham is now anticipated to announce a ‘low-key’ appointment very soon, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Ornstein withheld a name but said the next hire will share some traits with Ange Postecoglou, the boss.
As signing a former player from Chelsea or RB Leipzig would be a significant move, Vivell doesn’t really meet the bill in that aspect, thus we can’t see him moving to Tottenham anytime soon.
