Chelsea may already have an agreement with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann to be Chelsea manager next season, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes.

“If a manager has an option between Chelsea and Spurs, I think they will choose Chelsea in terms of giving them more chance of window, and maybe a bigger transfer kitty,” he told The Overlap Live Tour in London.

“The fact that they put Frank Lampard in tells me they may already have someone lined up, but that person will come in the summer.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out in the next few weeks that Julian Naglesmann has agreed to join Chelsea, but he wanted some time out and to get ready for the summer and have a pre-season.

“I might be totally wrong, and they might not have anyone and are still working on it, but to sign Frank straight away and not give it another week to get someone in for a couple of months, makes me feel they have something already lined up to the summer.”
