Chelsea are pushing to appoint Maurizio Sarri as new manager on Monday.

Corriere dello Sport says the former Napoli manager is due in London tomorrow evening.

If all goes to play then he will reportedly be appointed at the start of next week.

Chelsea want Sarri to replace Antonio Conte in the dugout next season.

Conte is set to pay the price for his fractured relationship with the club's board.

Chelsea have been in talks with Napoli for a number of weeks in a bid to free Sarri from his contract.

Conte is also due the remaining £9m of his contract.
