Chelsea have refuted claims that they paid for Ruben Amorim to fly to England last week.

The Sporting CP manager was rumored to have spoken with West Ham United representatives.

Now Portuguese press have stated that Chelsea may have also have been involved.

Portuguese reporter Pedro Sepulveda stated that Chelsea paid for the flight.

They are seeking a replacement for Argentina head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

But The Telegraph states that such a report is being vehemently denied by the club.
