Thomas Tuchel's message to new Chelsea owners to avoid repeating Rudiger and Christensen mistake

Thomas Tuchel Jorginho NGolo Kante Andreas Christensen Real Madrid Southampton

Thomas Tuchel believes decisions over the futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho must be made this summer – one way or the other – so that Chelsea do not endure another season of uncertainty over two key members of the first-team squad.

Kante and Jorginho have been the go-to central midfield pairing for Tuchel since the German took charge at Stamford Bridge 14 months ago. The duo were imperious throughout the Champions League knockout stages last term and were huge factors as to why the Blues claimed the big-eared trophy in Porto in May

Both have remained key figures this term – and started in midweek against Real Madrid. Yet as things stand, the contracts of Kante and Jorginho expire in the summer of 2023 and talks have been unable to take place over new deals with Chelsea working under a strict government licence after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned as part of the UK's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
