Chelsea appear to be moving closer to a move for Matthijs de Ligt this summer amid interest from other teams. Thomas Tuchel is yet to make a signing in the window, but work is being done to strengthen the squad.
A number of key players have left over the past few weeks, with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen moving to Spain as free agents. This has left a gap in the squad at centre-back which the German coach will have to address.
Discussing his summer plans, Tuchel said earlier this year: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.”
