Chelsea's £25m transfer mistake gives Thomas Tuchel obvious dilemma on 18-year-old target

Lucas Digne made his mark against his former club, Everton. He landed an assist for Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia after being iced out by former boss Rafa Benitez.

Why did Chelsea not get him whilst they could? Was it the fee? Or was it just that Thomas Tuchel did not necessarily prefer the left back. One thing that is for certain is that Chelsea need a left back/wing-back and there is only a week left in the transfer window.

Whilst a move to bring Emerson back to Stamford Bridge looked to have been Tuchel’s solution, there is still another contingency that could be in place. A free contingency. However, the possibility of this is now slim with Chelsea bidding for Derby County’s Dylan Williams.
