Staying with Chelsea for a moment, it looks like they are close to an agreement with Manchester City over Enzo Maresca.
The Italian left his role as head coach at Stamford Bridge on New Year’s Day, but the terms of his contract mean that they are due compensation as City line him up as their successor to the departed Pep Guardiola.
Those talks are said to have been ongoing over recent weeks, with Ben Jacobs now reporting that an agreement is set to be finalised between the Premier League rivals.

Chelsea are reportedly targeting Adam Wharton as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez is widely expected to follow Marc Cucurella from Stamford Bridge to Real Madrid this summer.
New Blues boss Xabi Alonso will need a midfield successor to the Argentine very quicky.
And reports over recent days have claimed that Chelsea are targeting Crystal Palace star Wharton, who is not with England at the World Cup.
While Sandro Tonali could yet be incoming at Tottenham this summer, Lucas Bergvall looks to be on his way out.
Standard Sport’s Matt Verri understands that the Swedish midfielder has formally requested to leave Spurs after becoming frustrated at a lack of opportunities to start in his favoured position at No8.
Bergvall will apparently consider proposals from clubs across Europe who can guarantee him that role, though has no interest in a loan move as things stand.
Tottenham have set an asking price of £45m for the 20-year-old, who is currently away at the World Cup with Sweden.

Tottenham are expected to make a second bid for Sandro Tonali.
Spurs have emerged as shock suitors for the Newcastle midfielder, who already had strong interest from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United.
However, Tottenham are trying to beat their rivals to a surprise swoop for Tonali, having tabled a formal offer over the weekend worth around £80m for a player greatly admired by head coach Roberto De Zerbi.
While that approach was rebuffed, GiveMeSport claim that Spurs will return with a new bid and are willing to go as high as £85m.
However, Newcastle are believed to be looking for that fee up front plus an extra £15m in add-ons.
Tonali, crucially, is said to be open to joining Tottenham this summer despite their lack of European football for next term.

There has been a sizable new twist on the Yan Diomande to Liverpool transfer front, it appears.
The Reds are long-time admirers of RB Leipzig’s star winger, who has been shining at the World Cup with Ivory Coast.
Liverpool are believed to have already bid for Diomande, an offer which Ben Jacobs of GiveMeSport recently clarified was actually worth €80m up front plus a further €20m in add-ons - not €90m plus €10m, as was originally reported.
However, they now face significant competition for the 19-year-old from PSG, who BILD in Germany report are poised to make an opening approach of their own having supposedly been in contact with the player’s camp for several weeks now over personal terms.
Declan Rice could yet provide a key boost in Arsenal’s quest to sign Morgan Rogers this summer.
The Gunners are one of a number of clubs wanting to land the England playmaker after another fine season at Aston Villa.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are now stepping up their interest in Rogers, with Three Lions team-mate Rice said to be leading a “charm offensive” at their World Cup camp in the United States, where there is also Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze.
Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly believe that Villa could sell their top asset for around £85m.
Arsenal are trying to hijack Manchester United’s move for Crysencio Summerville, reports claim.
The Dutch winger is extremely in demand this summer, with his exit from West Ham looking inevitable after their disastrous relegation from the Premier League last season.
Summerville’s impressive start to the World Cup - where he has scored in back-to-back games for the Netherlands against Japan and Sweden in Group F - has only served to ramp up that transfer speculation even further.
According to reports from France relayed by TEAMtalk, Arsenal are now very much in the running for the former Leeds star, with United having previously appeared to be leading a crowded race that also features PSG, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Summerville would be a huge coup for the Gunners as they seek to strengthen their left-hand side amid doubts over the futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
West Ham are looking into signing ex-Brighton defender Adam Webster, the Sun reports.
Webster, 31, spent seven years with the Seagulls, but left on expiry of his contract this summer.
The Hammers’ relegation means several players are looking for escape routes; Jean-Clair Todibo and Konstantinos Mavropanos are part of that group.
Webster could therefore fill a gap in West Ham’s defence if a move to the London Stadium goes through.
PSG want £100m-rated Yan Diomande and will compete with Liverpool for his signing, according to Bild.
The Anfield side had a £86m bid rejected for Diomande on Thursday, and their pursuit will be complicated by the Paris side’s interest.
PSG’s financial might and status as European Champions may lure the young winger to the Parc des Princes.
Iraola is looking for a Mo Salah replacement, while Bradley Barcola’s rumoured transfer to Arsenal means Luis Enrique will also require incomings.
