Chelsea join Man Utd in 'next Erling Haaland' wonderkid transfer battle amid Todd Boehly meeting

Chelsea's rollercoaster summer continues to take shape as Thomas Tuchel looks to find the right balance in his squad for the upcoming season. The German coach has made two signings so far and moved on a handful of players, but plenty more activity is expected from the Blues.

Tuchel bemoaned his lack of new options after a 4-0 loss to Arsenal in pre-season, claiming he had the "same players" to work with after a challenging first half of the transfer window. That could quickly change though, with talks of Brighton defender Marc Cucurella defender becoming signing number three and football.london understands the 24-year-old would be open to the switch.

The move for the Spaniard would help bolster the defensive ranks at the club, which needed some attention after the loss of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. However, there are still other areas to be addressed across the pitch.
