Sources say Mauricio Pochettino is keen on the idea of managing Chelsea despite his strong affiliations with Tottenham,

but will want to have a certain level of control of direction funds of the club,

Andre bring along at least four members of his coaching staff with whom he was successful during his time at Tottenham.

The coaching staff request is not an issue as Graham Potter joined from Brighton with a number of his staff,

And the manner of Chelsea defeat to Arsenal is also likely to strengthen Pochettino’s bargaining power.

The Blues are a total with one of the main reasons why they can not really be relegated being that they are running out of games.
