Mauricio Pochettino may already know what his first transfer decisions will be if he is appointed Chelsea's next manager. The former Tottenham boss is the clear favourite for the Stamford Bridge vacancy with the final details the only stumbling block that needs ironing out before his arrival is confirmed, according to multiple reports.
Despite the Argentine joining seeming close, in the meantime, Frank Lampard is expected to remain in his current role as Blues interim head coach. With the Pochettino to Chelsea rumours rife, Lampard was asked whether he had been told anything, but, as expected, the 44-year-old offered no update.
"I'm not going to get involved in any future manager talk because it's all speculation as you say. Simple as that," Lampard explained. Although his stay at the helm is expected to be over at the end of the season, it has been widely reported that Lampard will assist whoever becomes the club's permanent manager to help them understand the squad they are inheriting.
