Chelsea appear to have taken a huge leap towards finally appointing a permanent successor to Graham Potter. The Blues have been heavily linked with numerous managers over the last month or so and it appears the search could be coming to an end soon.
Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique were both once heavily linked with the vacancy at Stamford Bridge but they've since dropped out, leaving Mauricio Pochettino in the clear. Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti had also been mentioned, but they've ruled themselves out too.
football.london understands that the west Londoners have held multiple rounds of 'positive talks' with Pochettino, with Todd Boehly hopeful of finding a replacement for Frank Lampard ahead of the summer. While Chelsea are yet to reach an agreement with the former Tottenham boss, there is confidence that he'll be in the dugout ahead of next season.
