Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi is interesting Chelsea.
De Zerbi's future at Brighton is in doubt, with his agent meeting with Barcelona officials last week.
And Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira is reporting Chelsea are also keen. Mauricio Pochettino remains under pressure after Sunday's Carabao Cup final defeat.
Schira is reporting: "Chelsea are monitoring Roberto De Zerbi for the next season."
De Zerbi's deal at Falmer stadium runs to 2026.
