Thomas Tuchel is eager to hear from Chelsea.

The Irish Independent says Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is fighting to keep hold of his job after Monday's thrashing at Watford.

Chelsea insist that no discussions have taken place over sacking Conte and that they have not spoken to any potential successors.

Former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is the favourite to succeed Conte and the Spaniard is understood to be keen on working in the Premier League. But it is unclear whether Enrique would be prepared to cut short his sabbatical and step in before the end of the season.

Former Borussia Dortmund manager Tuchel is another interested in the Chelsea post and may be happy to step in immediately.
