The 38-year-old leaves our Champions League conquerers RB Leipzig after two years to start talent spotting for the principality outfit.
Luis Campos had been linked with a return to Monaco by Foot Mercato in May. This move by Mitchell now surely leaves us as favourites to land Campos, the man behind the rise of Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Anthony Martial, if the Portuguese does leave Lille.

What’s stopping Campos going to Leipzig? Have they replaced Mitchell? As for him,
he doesn’t hang around much does he? Is he a mercenary because he is very good at
it?
I hope you’re right mate.
