Thomas Tuchel faces a huge summer ahead of him. The Chelsea manager is tasked with rebuilding his squad heading into next season after a number of key players left the club as free agents.
With the takeover of the Blues finally complete, the German coach can finally get to work putting those recruitment plans into place, with the transfer window opening on June 10th. Discussing his plans, Tuchel said: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.”
While the defence is likely to be a priority, due to the loss of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, the forward lines were also a concern last campaign. Chelsea saw plenty of points slip by due to their lack of a clinical edge, despite the return of Romelu Lukaku for over £100million.
