Manchester City star Kyle Walker has already told Chelsea why they must appoint Mauricio Pochettino as their next manager. The England international played under Pochettino during his time at Tottenham Hotspur before moving to the Etihad Stadium.
football.london understands that despite a number of positive talks with the former Spurs and Paris Saint-Germain boss, there is still no agreement between Chelsea and Pochettino for him to become Graham Potter's successor. The Argentine emerged as the leading candidate to take over ahead of next season after Julian Nagelsmann withdrew himself from consideration.
Vincent Kompany and Ange Postecoglou are among the candidates on the Blues' shortlist, but Pochettino is expected to be announced as Chelsea's next manager. The 51-year-old has set a number of key demands if he is to agree to become manager at Stamford Bridge, including bringing in his own coaching staff.
