After a challenging season, Thomas Tuchel guided his Chelsea side to third in the Premier League, confirming Champions League football for the next campaign. However, given the difficulties they faced, the German coach will be hoping to add to his squad over the break.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave the club as free agents, while the manager has hinted at the need for sweeping changes across his side. “We are hoping (to be back to normal) but at the moment we are not.
“You ask many times if we have a delay in approaching players and making plans, of course, a huge delay. We are affected by it, players are going out. We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge."
