"We got sanctioned and players left us, we know that some players are trying to leave us, and this is where it is," a furious Thomas Tuchel said when asked about Chelsea's need for more incomings after his side were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal in Orlando on Sunday morning. "We had an urgent appeal for quality players and a huge amount of quality players.
"We've got two quality players [Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly] – that is no doubt – but we are not competitive like this. Unfortunately, we could see it today."
Chelsea were outplayed and outclassed by Arsenal, a side that finished below them last season in the Premier League table. If needed at all, it did point out that Chelsea still need to conduct some major business this summer.
