Thomas Tuchel already has an idea as to who Chelsea should target in the summer transfer window but accepts discussions are needed with the club's next owners before the Blues attempt to bring new signings to Stamford Bridge.
There is plenty of work needed to be done to the Chelsea squad this summer with fresh alternatives to Reece James and Ben Chilwell needed at wing-back, new defenders required with Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger departing, and decisions to be made on key midfielders and forwards.
The sanctions placed upon Roman Abramovich by the UK government and EU has meant Chelsea have been unable to act or make progress in their pursuits of transfer targets. Yet the moment the takeover by the consortium led by U.S. billionaire Todd Boehly is completed, the Blues will be free to approach clubs over players once again.
