They bought players for three billion crowns.
Now Chelsea is recruiting again.
This time from Dave Grohl himself, the leader of the rock band Foo Fighters.
Chelsea was Premier LeagueThe club that spends the most during the summer transfer window. In addition to sacking coach Thomas Tuchel and replacing him with Graham Potter, they have also bolstered the squad with Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The next new acquisition is not very well known in football circles…
His name is Freddy Murray and he was recently the naturopath for rock star Dave Grohl.
Join the staff
The Daily Mail writes that Murray – a 40-year-old Irishman with a background in football – is stepping in and strengthening Chelsea’s medical staff.
Described as an important signing, the club recently shed two big names from the physiotherapy team – chief medical officer Pablo Biosca and physicist Thierry Laurent.
Calling from Sweden
Freddy Murray began working with Dave Grohl in the summer of 2015 after the rock star fell off the stage and broke his leg during a concert at Olivier’s in Gothenburg.
Grohl himself called Murray and asked him for help to continue his tour.
That conversation changed my life, Murray said in an interview with The Times.
Dave Grohl broke into the music industry in the 1990s as a drummer for Nirvana. When the band broke up after Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994, he started Foo Fighters, which was initially a solo project.
