Football news LIVE: Chelsea ‘eye’ Brazilian wonderkid, Boro APPOINT ex-Man Utd star Carrick – Champions League updates

CHELSEA successfully progressed into the last-16 of the Champions League with a win over Austrian giants RB Salzburg.

Kai Havertz’ sensational goal was the difference maker and it ultimately ended Salzburg’s 40-game unbeaten run at home.

And it seems as if Graham Potter wants to strengthen his side with Chelsea reportedly plotting a move for Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.

Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have appointed former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick as their new manager.

When quizzed about adopting Sir Alex Ferguson’s tactics, Carrick said: “I’ve got to trust my own instincts and not try to copy too much.

“But I’ve spoken to Sir Alex a few times and he spoke a lot about being your own man sticking to your beliefs.”
