      The bookies made Julian Nagelsmann the early favourite to replace him at Stamford Bridge, weeks after leaving Bayern Munich.
      But SunSport revealed how Luis Enrique is the shock frontrunner.
      However, Terry revealed he could be tempted to make a return to coaching to take over.
      He told Stephen Hendry: “I’m done from a managerial point of view.

      “The only job I’d come out of retirement for would be the Chelsea job, to be involved in some capacity in the first team.”
      But how would the Blues line up if their captain, leader, legend JT was the new manager?
      Kepa Arrizabalaga looks on course to remain as Chelsea’s No1 for the long term.
      However, Edouard Mendy helped the club win the Champions League so maybe a new manager may be willing to give him another go again.

      Another option could see Chelsea try and sign Emi Martinez – the World Cup-winning Argentina goalkeeper who has thrived at Aston Villa.
      Reece James is the present and the future at right-back for Chelsea with Wesley Fofana at centre-back.
      Ben Chilwell seems to be the left-back – but could be sold to balance the books, giving Marc Cucurella the chance to prove himself.
      The other centre-back spot could go to Benoit Badiashile.
      But ex-England defender Terry may try and lure Ezri Konsa to Stamford Bridge after coaching him at Villa.
      In midfield, Terry will surely prioritise keeping Mount in the team.
      They both came through the Chelsea academy to win the Champions League.
      Mount’s contract enters the final 12 months this summer as Manchester United and Liverpool circle – but Terry will be desperate to get the best out of him.

      And Mount could be joined by best pal Rice in midfield.
      Rice was released by Chelsea aged 14 before going to West Ham – now the Hammers skipper looks ready to leave.
      Arsenal are in pole position at the moment but JT mentored Rice when he was younger, even when the midfielder left Chelsea.
      Record-signing Enzo Fernandez is going nowhere after his £106million transfer so completes the midfield.
      However, other options for the midfield roles include another academy graduate in Conor Gallagher as well as Villa ace John McGinn – who scored in Potter’s final game on Saturday.
      In attack, Chelsea have an abundance of attackers but Noni Madueke and Raheem Sterling could be the first-choice wingers providing youth and experience with in-form Villa hitman Ollie Watkins a possible new transfer up front.
      Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could come back in to the fold while Mykahilo Mudryk will be keen to justify his big price tag.

      And a final option could be Romelu Lukaku.
      The Belgian is currently on loan at Inter Milan but the £97m man was on the books during his first spell when Terry was still captain and could be the solution.

      But he has since struggled to establish himself as a regular name in the starting line-up.
      And Ten Hag is becoming more and more frustrated as a result.
      According to Manchester Evening News, the Dutchman is losing patience with Sancho – so much so that he could decide to let the winger leave at the end of the season.
      Sancho, who has made just five appearances in the last five months, could be sold as part of Ten Hag’s proposed clearout and rebuild.

      ‘It just can’t happen right now’ – Thomas Tuchel to block Liverpool from signing key transfer target

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH boss Thomas Tuchel is set to block Liverpool from signing Ryan Gravenberch, according to reports. The Reds are supposedly in the market for a midfielder this summer with the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain out of contract at the end of the season.

      Gravenberch is reportedly a target for Liverpool in a £25million move, but the deal is set to be blocked by Tuchel.
      The new boss is keen to hand all his players a chance to prove themselves at the club.
      Gravenberch was signed by Bayern last summer from Ajax for a fee of £16million.
      However, he failed to establish himself under previous boss Julian Nagelsmann, starting just four games this season.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool’s move for the 20-year-old “just can’t happen right now”.
      He says: “Gravenberch didn’t enjoy playing under Nagelsmann.
      “Now that Nagelsmann has gone, Tuchel will give everybody a fair chance.
      “Gravenberch is a phenomenal talent, has got physicality, intelligence and dynamism.

      “But he just needs shaping a little bit to understand that game management. That will come with age and experience.
      “Therefore, Tuchel will absolutely give him a fair chance. And because there’s so little time left in the season, that is likely to extend into the pre-season as well.
      “That means that links with Liverpool coming back in are very much premature at this stage.
      “Unless there’s a scenario where the player is really saying he’s unhappy and driving that exit, I just don’t think he will leave.
      “And when you get a new manager coming in, it will be the opposite with Gravenberch.
      “He’ll be looking to make a statement and prove to Tuchel that he’s worthy of playing, starting and contributing.” More

      However, both players have suffered injuries this season, consequently leaving the Spaniard short in attack.
      While January signing Leandro Trossard has the ability to lead the line – as previously highlighted by Arteta – the Arsenal boss is keen to add another natural No.9 to his ranks.
      And according to Football Insider, Calvert-Lewin has emerged as a target.
      The Gunners are hoping that the 26-year-old will be available for a reduced price come the end of the season, especially if Everton are relegated to the Championship.

      Arteta is understood to be an admirer of the striker and he is keen for the club to launch a bid when the summer transfer window opens.
      That is despite Calvert-Lewin’s injury history.
      The Everton star has made just 12 appearances so far this season.
      He was absent for the start of the Premier League campaign due to a knee injury and he has missed the club’s last seven games while recovering from a hamstring issue.

      Balogun has scored 17 goals in 28 league games for the Red and Whites, making him one of the most prolific players in Ligue 1. More
