Fabrizio Romano has claimed to CaughtOffside that there are no conversations going on about replacing Graham Potter at Chelsea.
The new manager saw another game without a victory this weekend after they were held to 0-0 draw by West London rivals Fulham.
The result means they will not beat their closest enemies this season, the first for some time.
Friday’s game saw the debut of Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke, whilst Mykhailo Mudryk made his first start for the club.
The Ukrainian was reportedly under the weather for the game, however there were encouraging signs from their two debutants.
Germany manager Hansi Flick was seen at Stamford Bridge, instantly sparking rumours that he may be in some conversations to take over Chelsea. However, Romano has claimed that there are still no plans to replace Potter, despite the uninspiring form continuing.
Potter’s future at Chelsea
He said: “Germany manager Hansi Flick was spotted at Stamford Bridge, so there’s inevitably been speculation about the Chelsea job.
“However, Flick has just committed to the Germany job until the Euros a few weeks ago and this is his full focus. I’m not aware of any conversation with Chelsea.”
Despite moments of brilliance from Chelsea’s Kai Havertz at the World Cup in Qatar, it was a disappointing tournament for Flick and Germany.
They were dumped out in the group stage, largely down to the overachievements of Japan in their group.
It looks for all the world as if Potter is being given adequate time to mould together a team under his identity after two consecutive heavy transfer windows at the club.
This perhaps only comes as a surprise due to the history Chelsea have under the previous ownership of being cut-throat in their approach to managers, not giving them the time many others would in their situations.
