What Luis Enrique has said about Barcelona wonderkid Gavi as Chelsea plot double transfer swoop

Chelsea are expected to be just as busy as they were last year in the summer transfer window, with players to sign, players to sell and a manager to appoint. Frank Lampard was recently appointed caretaker manager until the end of the season, while Todd Boehly continues his search for a new head coach.

Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique and Zinedine Zidane have all been heavily linked with filling the vacancy at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti have also been name-checked in relation to the position, though the latter has ruled himself out.

While the American billionaire has been tasked with replacing Lampard, the likes of Christopher Vivell, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have been entrusted with player recruitment. The Blues are said to have plenty of players on their radar, but one player in particular could be the perfect welcoming gift for Enrique should he be appointed the next Blues boss, and that's Gavi.
