Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will have breathed a sigh of relief after Todd Boehly’s consortium finally completed their takeover of the club. With ownership issues now a thing of the past the Blues can focus on recruiting the kind of quality that will enable them to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool.
The priority for Tuchel will be in defence with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen both departing the club this summer. However, central midfield will also be a cause for concern with N’Golo Kante and Jorginho both out of contract next June.
With both players also in their 30s, the Blues face a difficult decision as to whether or not to sell or offer new contracts to their ageing duo. Nonetheless the west London outfit will need to recruit long-term replacements and as such they have been linked with a plethora of midfielders.
