Chelsea are still rummaging through the fallout after controversially sacking Thomas Tuchel earlier this week.
The German manager was brutally given his marching orders off the back of a dreadful start to the new season - but tensions were already rising long before their Premier League campaign began. Just weeks into the summer transfer window, Tuchel found himself at odds with new Blues owner Todd Boehly, who was ready to splash the cash following his consortium's £4.25billion takeover.
Having initially been against buying a new striker after club-record signing Romelu Lukaku failed to slot into his demanding system and caused tensions within the camp last term, the now former Chelsea boss eventually U-turned on his stance and identified a top transfer target. Tuchel, who's officially been replaced in the Stamford Bridge dugout by Graham Potter, wanted to hijack Arsenal 's £45million deal to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.
