Chelsea target Ipswich’s McKenna after Pochettino leaves by mutual agreement

for the appointment of Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna after ­reaching an agreement to part company with Mauricio Pochettino by mutual consent on Tuesday.

Although there was support for Pochettino at board level it was not unanimous, with Eghbali understood to have been lukewarm regarding the former Tottenham manager. Other names under ­consideration include Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Girona’s Míchel, Leicester’s Enzo Maresca and Stuttgart’s ­Sebastian Hoeness. Vincent Kompany has been described as a dark horse despite Burnley’s relegation from the ­Premier League. There are ­concerns that Sporting Lisbon’s Rúben Amorim does not fit the squad’s tactical profile and ­interest in De Zerbi has cooled.

Pochettino was also keen to ensure that Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah continue at the club next season, whereas Chelsea are open to offers for the two academy graduates as they seek to stay within profitability and sustainability rules. Homegrown players count as pure profit when sold.
