Former England international David James believes that Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi will join Chelsea in the summer.

Former England goalkeeper David James believes that Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola will become the new manager of Chelsea in summer.

James, who currently plays for Bristol City, also expects Lionel Messi to follow his boss to Stamford Bridge.

"Pep Guardiola is going to become the first manager to retain the Champions League, then join Chelsea and bring Lionel Messi in," James told BBC Sport. "Jose Mourinho will go to Barcelona."

Chelsea are looking for a new manager following their decision to sack Andre Villas-Boas earlier today.
