Manchester City and Liverpool have been warned that Chelsea could challenge for the Premier League title in 2022/23, with Kalidou Koulibaly expected to sign from Napoli.
The Blues have already signed Raheem Sterling but it is believed that this signing will soon be followed with confirmation that Chelsea and Napoli have agreed a £34million fee for the transfer of Koulibaly. football.london understands that new owner Todd Boehly has offered the 31-year-old a four-year contract with an option of a further year.
With many more still expected through the door, Boehly has certainly backed Tuchel to an extent whereby he cannot complain about not being given the resources to try and close the gap to Man City and Liverpool next season. "The stakes are high and we're competing not only against the best teams who have ever played in the Premier League but also the best coaches," he told Sky Sports.
