Luis Enrique wants Luis Suarez as first Chelsea signing

Luis Enrique has already identified his first signing for Chelsea.

The former Barcelona coach is favourite to succeed Antonio Conte, who survived a board meeting yesterday involving Blues owner Roman Abramovich.

However, Enrique remains in the frame to succeed the Italian and he plans to go back to Barca to boost Chelsea's attack should he be handed the reins.

Local pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito, believes Enrique already has a Blues deal wrapped up.

He said: "Luis Enrique will go to Chelsea. And we know his (Enrique) goal is to recruit Luis Suarez."
