Chelsea managerial target Laurent Blanc is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League as he looks for a new job.

And now the Daily Mirror claim Blanc is keen on the prospect of a job in English football, though they make no specific mention of Chelsea’s apparent interest.
Still, if, as TMW say, Chelsea are keen to hire Blanc to replace Sarri, the Mirror’s report is a big boost to their hopes.
