Chelsea are set for further talks with Julian Nagelsmann who has emerged as a firm favourite for their vacant manager role ahead of Luis Enrique, sources have told 90min.

Nagelsmann has been out of work since being dumped by Bayern Munich and quickly attracted interest from the Blues when they ditched Graham Potter.

Chelsea sources claim Enrique, who held face-to-face talks with club officials earlier this month, was not listed as one of their leading options.
