An English Premier League football club Chelsea FC has denied spreading speculations linking it to a former Super Eagles Manager Sunday Oliseh.
Speculations spread two days ago that Chelsea is interested in the former Super Eagles international.
According to a speculation that got to our office Wednesday afternoon, Chelsea is interested in the services of the former K.A.S Eupen Sporting Director. It was rumoured that the former footballer will serve in the capacity of an assistant coach to club’s head coach Graham Potter.
A source close to the former UEFA Champions League winners told NPFLUpdates correspondent that the English club was never interested in Oliseh at the moment.
“Chelsea is not interested in Oliseh at the moment. Our coaching crew are okay, there’s no such room in the team,” he said.
The source further revealed that the 48-year-old was only in London to see a game between the England U-21 and Croatia U-21 internationals.
The match was held at the Craven Cottage, home ground of another London club and Chelsea’s neighbour, Fulham.
“Oliseh arrived London to see a game between English U-21 internationals take on Croatia U-21. He is not here for any negotiation with Chelsea. Maybe in the future, we’ll see; but for now, nothing.”
