Luis Enrique’s hopes of landing the Chelsea job could receive a significant boost after Maurizio Sarri held talks over staying at Napoli.

Sarri met with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis on Wednesday, which sources in Italy claim went well.

He is now expected to sign a new contract, despite being one of the leading candidates to replace head coach Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

Chelsea are interested in both Sarri and former Barcelona manager Enrique, with sources believing that Conte’s successor is most likely to be one of the pair.

The Blues admire Mauricio Pochettino, but are well aware that their chances of being able to force him away from Tottenham Hotspur are extremely slim.
