Enzo Maresca's plans for Enzo Fernandez are said to have convinced Chelsea chiefs in talks last week.
The Leicester City manager is due to be appointed by Chelsea in the coming days.
The London Evening Standard says Maresca - via his agents - impressed in talks, which included him laying out plans for Fernandez.
Currently recovering from hernia surgery, the midfielder struggled alongside Moises Caicedo last season.
But Maresca has outlined multiple changes to bring out the best in the Argentine.
