Mauricio Pochettino to Chelsea is a saga that is starting to drag itself out.
For some time now we have known that the Argentine is the chosen one for the Chelsea board.
But the Blues now appear to finally be closing in on a deal to capture Poch.
“This is why the process with Pochettino was not as fast as expected.”
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that a deal to bring Pochettino to Stamford Bridge is almost done.

This is why negotiations with Poch have taken some time, but finally, the west London club are close to reaching an agreement with him.
“From what I heard in the last 24/48 hours there were new contacts.
“They are discussing many different things, it’s about the future project, contract details and plans on the players.
“Chelsea want to be 100 per cent sure on the choice they will make on the new coach.
“This is why the process with Pochettino was not as fast as expected.”
