Chelsea suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to London rivals Arsenal in their pre-season friendly in Florida. As a result, head coach Thomas Tuchel let loose in frustration during his post-match press conference. He opted for refreshingly, yet brutally honest responses to the questions directed to him.
Not too long ago, the Chelsea head coach was sure that the hunt for a new No.9 was no longer a priority for the Blues after signing Raheem Sterling. The German believed that he had enough options to play with. He said: "We have Timo Werner as a nine, we have Kai Havertz as a nine, we have Michy Batshuayi as a number nine, we have Armando Broja as a nine and Raheem Sterling as a nine, maybe, so let’s see how things work out."
After yet another match where his attackers struggled in front of goal, it'll be interesting to know if Chelsea are ready to re-evaluate their priority, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo still on the market. It's been a weird transfer window for one of the greatest footballers of all time. Ronaldo had expressed his desire to leave Manchester United quite early on in the transfer window. He is not keen on watching others play in the Champions League whilst he plays in the sister competition on a Thursday night. He is yet to play with the Red Devils this pre-season, despite several fans travelling to Bangkok, Thailand in anticipation of watching him play.
