Luis Enrique has arrived in London for further talks with Chelsea after impressing in initial discussion with the London based club.

The former Barcelona coach who left club side coaching in 2017 after leaving the Catalan club, once declared his desire to coach a premier league club.

“I follow above all the Premier [League] because I would like to go to England to work,” Enrique told Cadena Ser last week.

“I wouldn’t go to any team but to one that could do important things, which greatly reduces the number. I don’t put my hopes up, really, because there are many candidates.

“I am lucky because my personal life fills me up. That it takes longer, that no offers arrive, well, it is what it is. I would go to a team with possibilities. That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t work in Spain.”

Enrique was dismissed as Spain coach after their defeat to Morocco at the FIFA senior World Cup in Qatar.
