Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly in contention to succeed Maurizio Sarri as Chelsea's next manager.
Chelsea are expected to make an announcement on the future of Sarri after next week's Europa League final showdown with Arsenal.
The Italian has struggled to win over supporters and, despite potentially winning silverware in his first campaign at the helm, he has been widely tipped to make way in the summer.
According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea have a few replacements in mind should they part company with Sarri.
Iconic midfielder Frank Lampard, who has impressed in his debut season at Derby County, departing Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri and PSG chief Tuchel are said to have been lined up.
Tuchel has won the Ligue 1 title in his first season with the Parisians, but they failed to retain the two domestic cups and exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage.
