The Times report that Kieran McKenna will choose between Chelsea and Brighton, with both clubs ready to meet his personal demands and agree a compensation with Ipswich.
The Seagulls are 'confident' that the 38-year-old will pick them over the Blues. They will begin formal negotiations with Ipswich soon.
Curiously, the report states that Chelsea considered Roberto De Zerbi, who left the Amex by mutual consent at the end of the season. Yet they're not expected to proceed with the Italian.
Chelsea sacked Mauricio Pochettino earlier this week but didn't have a replacement immediately ready. Now they are reportedly considering several options, with McKenna a leading candidate.
