Chelsea have a huge summer ahead of them, with the transfer window just days away from opening. With Todd Boehly ’s takeover finally complete, Thomas Tuchel can finally get to work with planning his recruitment.
Reports suggest that following the deal, the German coach will have £200million to invest in the market, while he is expected to take the lead in any decisions made over signings. It’s a huge vote of confidence in the manager for the project he is envisioning at the club.
Discussing the challenges of the upcoming window, Tuchel said: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.” One of the areas for rebuilding will be the defence. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are both set to leave at the end of their contracts, leaving limited options at centre-back.
