Luis Enrique meeting
Luis Enrique has travelled to London for talks with the Chelsea hierarchy over the vacant managerial position, football.london understands.
The Spanish boss is amongst the favourites to take over at Stamford Bridge after Graham Potter was sacked on Sunday night. He has been out of a job since leaving Spain after the World Cup.
Enrique is one of a number of candidates for the role with Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino and Oliver Glasner also under consideration, though at this time it appears he is one of the top choices.
The ex-Barcelona head coach will have to wait until the summer though to potentially be appointed at Stamford Bridge as Frank Lampard looks set to be named interim boss.

Keys slams Potter choices
BeIn SPORT broadcaster Richard Keys has slammed Chelsea's decision making under Todd Boehly. "What a shambles the owner of Chelsea, Todd Boehly, has created at the Bridge," he said.
"Potter’s sacking was inevitable and overdue. Sacking him isn’t a mistake - sacking Tuchel was," he then continued. Meanwhile, Gary Neville has also been publicly critical of Boehly once more.
"He’s been prominent all season calling it a long-term project, now all of a sudden we’re seeing Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart quite a lot in the last few days," Neville said during Chelsea's draw with Liverpool.
"Obviously Winstanley was with Graham Potter at Brighton and look, I don’t think we’re surprised by the sacking but if you’re going to sack someone you must have been thinking about in the last two or three weeks."

Wright names three signings new manager must make
Arsenal legend believes there are three key areas that Todd Boehly will need to invest in for the new manager at Chelsea in order to turn the club's fortunes around.
"They’ve spent [over] half a billion pounds and they still for me need a goalkeeper if I’m being totally honest," the former Arsenal striker told The Kelly & Wrighty Show. "They still need a No.6 and they need a focal point centre forward.
"They’re nowhere near that. Since the [Roman] Abramovich era it feels like they’ve spent that money and they’re still nowhere." Potter was managing Chelsea with a 33-man squad and struggled to work with such vast numbers.
It paves the way for another busy summer at Stamford Bridge with outgoings also necessary in order to balance the group.
