Tottenham have already ‘made moves’ to open talks with manager described as “one of the best” by Pep Guardiola

The Telegraph claims that Luis Enrique is no longer the front-runner to become Stamford Bridge's manager.

The former Barcelona player spoke with Chelsea a few weeks ago, but the report indicates that there are no plans to do so again because he is no longer considered a front-runner for the position.

With "further talks" set for this week, former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is still a strong contender. The former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is also a "main contender" for the open role at Stamford Bridge.

The article goes on to say, however, that Tottenham has already established a commanding lead in the race to land Luis Enrique and has already "made moves" to "open talks" with him. Enrique, who has stated a desire to coach in the Premier League, may be the right candidate for the position at one of the London clubs.

With La Liga powerhouse Barcelona, Enrique has a good track record as a manager, having won nine titles, including the Champions League. Pep Guardiola referred to him as "one of the best managers"

The "most likely destinations" for Enrique, according to the Spanish outlet Sport, were Tottenham and Chelsea.

Who will be Tottenham's next manager has still to be chosen, but the team is reportedly determined to find a qualified candidate who can guide them to success in the Premier League and in Europe. With his great credentials, Enrique might be a serious candidate for the position.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career. As per Transfermarkt, Felix has mostly played as a second striker during his time at Benfica and Atletico, but he's mainly been used off the left-hand side at Chelsea. Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed this news but has st...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season. The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place. The Senegal international has featured in only 11 games in all competitions having been hampered by in...
