Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali has dropped a big hint Mauricio Pochettino is about to be named new manager.

Eghbali was attending the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday and was approached by a Chelsea fan.

On his way out of the stadium, the Blues fan asked: "Who's the next Chelsea manager?"

He responded: "Who do you want?"

The fan raised former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, but said: "You're getting Pochettino right?"

Eghbali winked and responded: "Maybe, maybe."
