Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he handed Chelsea owner Todd Boehly an 'unrealistic' transfer list that could lead his side to immediately challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title. Chelsea have already spent in the region of £162 million on first-team additions in Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka and Kalidou Koulibaly and could yet see Wesley Fofana join for a record fee.
Tuchel does not believe the business his side will undertake is complete. football.london understands that Chelsea are hopeful the third bid for Fofana could tempt Leicester, and the French defender appeared to say goodbye to Foxes supporters at the Emirates on Saturday.
If the Blues were to not add any more players before the end of the month, Tuchel still refuses to put any limits on his side. The German coach knows he is not privileged enough to play fantasy football, despite the vast sums spent so far this summer.
