Chelsea’s Luis Enrique move could be hijacked by Arsenal as English giants look set to clash over ex-Barcelona boss

Feb 09, 2018

ARSENAL could reportedly hijack Chelsea’s move for ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique.

Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claims Gunners chiefs will consider Arsene Wenger’s future at the end of the season.

And one of the names being touted is Chelsea target Enrique, who is half-way through a year-long sabbatical after quitting Barcelona last summer.

The tactician has been strongly tipped as Antonio Conte’s replacement following success in La Liga with Barca.

However, it’s been said that Arsenal could end up with Enrique’s signature instead.

Long-serving boss Wenger has once again failed to put together a title bid and is said to be in danger of the axe.

Enrique’s adventurous style could help bring the best out of new signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

But it’s added that Chelsea will not give up on Enrique without a fight.

Another boss linked with both London clubs is Napoli’s Maurizio Sarri.

He has a £7million release clause in his contract and could be tempted by a switch to England.
