Chelsea will allegedly move for Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino if current head coach Antonio Conte leaves the club this summer.
The Blues could approach the Argentine boss if they pip Spurs to a top-four finish and attempt to lure him across London with the promise of Champions League football, according to The Telegraph.
Conte has been linked with a move elsewhere this summer following reports that he is unsettled at Chelsea, with the Italy national team and Paris Saint-Germain touted as possible destinations.
Spurs, however, are expected to resist any approach for Pochettino and the report claims that Chelsea have earmarked Luis Enrique and Thomas Tuchel as alternative candidates.
Chelsea and Spurs meet in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge this Sunday with five points between them in the table.
