But to do this, Todd Boehly will have to complete the signings of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Rafael Leao, who have both been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge.
football.london understand that the west Londoners submitted a £22million bid for the 33-year-old striker on Wednesday evening. It's believed that talks with Barcelona giants over Aubameyang's sale are ongoing, with Tuchel a key plauyer in a potential deal.
It's understood that the German is eager to reunite with the former Arsenal captain and has specifically identified the Gabon international as a priority signing. Meanwhile, talks of Leao swapping the Milan for London have resurfaced.
