It is unclear if McKenna would be ready to make such a drastic move to Stamford Bridge, although Ipswich were in League One last season and he has orchestrated back-to-back promotions. Even though he just signed a two-year deal when he arrived, Pochettino has already intimated that he may quit.

On the last day of the Premier League season, Chelsea take on Bournemouth. If Tottenham loses against Sheffield United, Chelsea still has a chance to finish sixth.
