Thomas Tuchel has admitted he is "super happy" with the current state of Chelsea's transfer business ahead of Everton in Premier League amid ongoing talks with both Wesley Fofana and Frenkie de Jong.
Ahead of the Premier League opener at Goodison Park on the Saturday Night Football, the Blues have so far made five first-team recruits with Marc Cucurella the latest to join in a £63million deal on Friday. With three more transfer deals eyed up, this could potentially take the transfer spend under Todd Boehly in the first summer transfer window up to the £300m mark.
Seemingly, the Blues' second £70million bid for Leicester star Fofana has been turned down due to the fact as Brendan Rodgers claimed, no offers have met the 'valuation' yet. The Guardian's Jacob Steinberg has reported though that the club are willing to make the 21-year-old the most expensive defender in the world as £85million is the maximum they will go to this summer which would eclipse the Harry Maguire fee Man United paid.
