Thomas Tuchel was coy when asked about Chelsea's pursuit of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.
The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for Kounde over the last 12 months and a deal appeared to be edging closer earlier this week before reports in Spain claimed that the Frenchman had rejected the west Londoners' proposal in favour of a move to La Liga giants Barcelona. football.london understands that Sevilla have denied this speculation and Chelsea supporters have since been anxiously waiting for any updates, hoping that the deal won't have a similar conclusion to Raphinha - who joined the Blaugrana over the Blues earlier this month.
Now, Tuchel has spoken about the need to bring in additional recruits after his side were defeated 4-0 by Premier League rivals Arsenal in Orlando on Sunday morning. "There is no update, no update", he said when asked if there was any update on Chelsea's pursuit of Kounde.
