Top Premier League manager emerges as replacement for Sarri at Chelsea

- Javia Gracia who is Watford coach has been linked with a move to replace Sarri at Chelsea

- Chelsea are exploring the possibility of sacking Maurizio Sarri as manager this summer

- The Italian has not been as impressive as he was in the opening months of the season

Premier League giants Chelsea have reportedly commenced plans to find a replacement for Maurizio Sarri.

Sarri remains under pressure at Stamford Bridge despite registering a string of improved results both in the domestic League and the Europa League in recent weeks.

As such, the club board is said to have identified a three-man shortlist that could potentially replace the Italian at the end of the season.

According to a UK Metro report, Watford manager, Javi Gracia is the latest addition to the list of candidates.

Blues' chiefs are said to have been hugely impressed by the job Gracia has done with the Hornets as the team is on course for a seventh-place finish and already in the final of the FA Cup.

The Spaniard's relatively calm demeanor is another trait that has reportedly seen the west London club get interested in the tactician.

With Sarri unfazed with the prospect of getting sacked and Watford's preparedness to let Gracia leave at a good compensation fee, the Stamford Bridge outfit could land him in the summer.

Meanwhile, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo and former Chelsea captain who is now Derby County manager Frank Lampard are also in contention for the Chelsea job.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Maurizio Sarri who is the manager of Premier League side Chelsea reportedly told Belgian football star Eden Hazard that he is free to leave the club if he wants to.

Eden Hazard has for the past three seasons being linked with a move to the Spanish giants with Real Madrid said to be ready to sign him in the summer.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
