Thomas Tuchel will not prioritise bringing in a midfielder at Chelsea in the remaining weeks of the transfer window
That is despite their reported interest in Frenkie de Jong, who has long been linked with a move to Manchester United. The Blues have recently entered the race for the Dutchman with Barcelona potentially open to selling as they look to balance the books.
De Jong has shown no great desire to join the Red Devils, who cannot offer Champions League football. The midfielder would also prefer to live in London if he does end up leaving London, but Tuchel's focus in the coming weeks is not to bolster his midfield options.
