Chelsea target’s agent in London as talks reach conclusion

Chelsea’s top manager target Maurizio Sarri is in London right now as the club look to finally complete a protracted deal for the manager.

There have been weeks of nonsense rumours and speculation, but this looks pretty solid, as Sky Sports report that Sarri’s agent has come to the British Isles to sort out his future once and for all.

It’s been a tough summer for the coach, who was pretty rudely replaced at Napoli by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti, despite his construction of a brilliant team that achieved a record number of points for a second placed side in Serie A.

We’ve said this plenty of times in the last few weeks, but it does look as though a deal is close now. The leaks are getting louder and faster, and Antonio Conte will surely only have to wait a few more days before he receives that sweet payoff he’s been itching for since December.
