Thomas Tuchel holds the key to four man £175m Chelsea answer as Todd Boehly fills unhappy role

Thomas Tuchel has just two more weeks to go full throttle in the transfer window before he can breathe a momentary sigh of relief.

The German boss has been extremely hands-on in his work this summer, going side-by-side with Todd Boehly as a makeshift recruitment set-up designed to see Chelsea through a turbulent summer of change. He has been allowed greater freedom in acquiring his own targets and has been a key factor behind the search for Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon.

Chelsea could see another four players, including Cesare Casadei, come through the doors, but there will also likely be a group of high-profile departures in some way or another. Intending to trim his squad of excess wages, underperforming players and those that aren't in Tuchel's plans, Boehly has a period in which he can take advantage of being the new owner, selling players he has no ties with.
