Chelsea are playing catch up in the transfer market after Todd Boehly's takeover of the club was completed last week.
The uncertainty surrounding the ownership over the past few weeks has put the Blues at a disadvantage as the West Londoners were unable to meet with agents, players who are free agents or talk to clubs. Tuchel admitted that it’s proving to be a frustrating time for Chelsea as they haven't been able to go full steam ahead on the recruitment front.
He said: “You can always end up in a situation where players at the end of the season can have talks with other clubs, have different ideas and maybe get distracted because they sign for other teams. It happens. t’s a bit easier if you are also free to act and be more involved in the talks. Now it feels like we are spectators of the development, we don’t like. It’s a passive role and a bit strange. You can feel it.
