Blues’ sights on Jokanovic
interest, Fulham are drawing up a new contract for the Serb.
Jokanovic spent two seasons at Stamford Bridge as a midfielder from 2000-02 and he led Watford into the Premier League as manager in 2015. Former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is also on Chelsea’s shortlist but his high wage demands may prove a problem. Maurizio Sarri, expected to leave Napoli this week, is another leading contender.
Conte flew to Italy yesterday for close friend Andrea Pirlo’s testimonial last night at the San Siro in Milan.
He is expected to return to London today for talks with the Chelsea board. Meanwhile, Willian has told friends that he wants to stay at the club.
He posted a cheeky tweet, later deleted, on Saturday night after the FA Cup final win over Manchester United, which showed the Chelsea players and staff celebrating their win but had pasted in a series of emojis that blanked out Conte. ARSENAL have announced that Santi Cazorla, 33, has left after six years at the club. The Spaniard, left, has been out since October 2016 when he suffered an Achilles injury. “Santi is always one of my favourite players to watch,” said chief executive Ivan Gazidis. “He plays with a joy and freedom which is very rare. We wish him well for the future.”
