Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel admits the chaotic nature of the transfer market has proved confusing and distracting this summer – and he accepts the Blues' business is unlikely to be over with three-and-a-half weeks of the window remaining.
Following the takeover of the club by the U.S. billionaire Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, Tuchel was handed greater responsibility over first-team signings. It's not something the German wants long-term yet he felt dutybound to try to guide Chelsea through the early weeks of the new ownership.
That has resulted in constant contact between Tuchel, Boehly and fellow co-owner Behdad Eghbali over the past two months as they attempt to construct a squad capable of competing in the Premier League and in Europe. So far, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwemeka and Marc Cucarella have arrived. And further signings are expected before the window closes.
