Serge Gnabry has dealt Chelsea with a major transfer blow as Bayern Munich agreed to new terms to keep the German in Bavaria. The Blues had been linked with the winger after negotiations with Ousmane Dembele fell through as the Frenchman decided to stick with Barcelona for another two years.
Chelsea currently have an array of attacking options, so does this Gnabry saga really have a negative effect on Thomas Tuchel's rebuild? Romelu Lukaku was the first player out of the door once the transfer window opened in June.
It was to be expected as the Belgian struggled in his first year back at Stamford Bridge. Instead of hunting for a like-for-like replacement, the Blues opted for the versatile Raheem Sterling to join their attack - indicating that Timo Werner could be around for another season.
