Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly could pull of the unthinkable this summer and reunite Harry Kane and Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have held positive talks with the former Tottenham boss about becoming their new manager, football.london understands, and following numerous meetings he is the firm favourite to permanently succeed Graham Potter.
Despite a fifth consecutive loss arriving for Frank Lampard, the interim boss is expected to stay in his role until the end of the season. Although Pochettino to Chelsea appears very close, football.london understands the Argentine is not expected to take charge of the west Londoners officially until June, once the Premier League season has finished.
If he is appointed by Boehly, Pochettino will likely face several major decisions at the club within his first few months as the summer transfer window is on the horizon. Both outgoings and incomings appear on the agenda for Chelsea, with a possible arrival heavily linked to Pochettino and his time across the capital.
