Some of Chelsea's transfer targets will not change just because Thomas Tuchel is no longer at the club. Proof of this was the decision to pursue Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang despite the reservations over Tuchel's long-term future.
As that one played out, Tuchel lasted less than 10 days after Aubameyang was signed and the Gabon striker has now been left to fight for a place under Graham Potter which is far from a formality. Potter will no doubt bring his own targets, some may come from Brighton too, he may also want to use the expansive resources now available to him at SW6.
This isn't going to stop the so-called 'club targets' from being watched though. Even with the entire footballing structure at the club ripped out and currently undergoing major surgery, Todd Boehly has his team of American analysts working on transfer business with data-led methods.
