Thomas Tuchel has yet been handed anything more than a pat on the back in the January transfer window as Chelsea continues to hedge their bets.
Marina Granovskaia, the Blues' transfer chief, has brought the German just three signings since he guided Chelsea to Champions League glory in Porto; one of which was a third-choice goalkeeper and the other a deadline day loanee.
With just hours left of the winter window remaining, the west Londoners are still yet to significantly bolster Tuchel's squad, who has been nursing an onset of absences.
