Chelsea owner Abramovich plans sensational move for Spurs boss Pochettino

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is eyeing a stunning move for unsettled Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Sun says the Argentine, at loggerheads with Spurs chief Daniel Levy over transfer funds, is aware of interest from Abramovich.

Antonio Conte, who led Chelsea to the Premier League title last season, is expected to be fired after Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Pochettino is determined to get assurances from Levy that they are in a financial position to compete for trophies.

Although Chelsea failed to secure Champions League football, they have identified Pochettino as the man to bring in a long-term strategy at Stamford Bridge.

The Argentine has become increasingly frustrated with Tottenham's failure to back him in the transfer market and made his feelings clear after Sunday's 5-4 win over Leicester.
