Enrique is one of the favourites to take over after Chelsea made initial contact earlier this week.

Now he is in London for more talks with Chelsea today, according to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook.

Chelsea are hopeful the former Spain boss will take over immediately with caretaker boss Bruno Saltor potentially unwilling to stay until the end of the season due to his connection to Graham Potter.

If Enrique is unwilling to take charge now Todd Boehly could appoint Frnak Lampard on an interim basis until the end of the season, SunSport understands.

Former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann is another option and is believed to still be high on the Blues’ wishlist.

The club has also contacted the German over the role, with Fabrizio Romano reporting talks are set to continue with the 35-year-old.

Chelsea are believed to have a shortlist of seven names, including Fulham boss Marco Silva and Mauricio Pochettino.

But Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is not being considered despite Chelsea admiring the work he has done since arriving in the Premier League.

Nagelsmann is also wanted by Tottenham and Real Madrid as a potential successor for Carlo Ancelotti.

Spurs sacked Conte last week and have been tipped to re-appoint Pochettino.
