Chelsea will move closer to signing Golden Boy award winner Gavi should the Blues hire Luis Enrique as the club’s next manager, according to Spanish media outlet Diario AS.

The 18 year old Barcelona midfielder will be a free agent at the end of the season. Barcelona are unable to extend his contract due to the financial issues.

Enrique is a huge admirer of Gavi having thrust him into action with the Spanish national team as a 17-year-old despite having hardly featured in the Barcelona first team.

The move proved a revelation, with Gavi becoming key for club and country before his 18th birthday.

It is believed Gavi will be willing to move to Chelsea to reunite with Enrique should Chelsea hire the former Barcelona and Spain manager.

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is set to meet with the parents of the 18 year old Barcelona star.
