Zola camp coy over Blues link

Gianfranco Zola's lawyer has refused to rule him out of becoming the new manager of Chelsea. The Blues legend has already emerged as one of the favourites to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari who was sacked by the London giants on Monday.Zola has impressed hugely at West Ham, after only taking charge at Upton Park in September.But Chelsea fans are keen to see Zola - who is assisted by Jose Mourinho's former number two Steve Clarke - back at Stamford Bridge.Zola's lawyer Fulvio Marrucco has been quick to confirm that although no approach has been made, Chelsea could be hard to turn down."At the moment we know nothing about the link between Gianfranco Zola and the vacant position at Chelsea," Marrucco said in a statement."Gianfranco is very happy at West Ham and still thanks them for giving him the opportunity to be a coach in the Premier League."It is very difficult to say if anything will happen but Chelsea is a special place for Gianfranco Zola."
