The beauty of the transfer window is that it opens a period for speculation. According to Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard, Thomas Tuchel has told Raheem Sterling his plans for the upcoming season. What are Tuchel’s plans for Raheem Sterling? Why him? And what does this mean for the other attackers in the squad?
These are questions that Chelsea fans like myself are keen on discovering the answers to. Until the Blues are in action in the Premier League for the first time, it’s a matter of the unknown, but I have a good idea of what the boss could be conjuring up in the preseason.
A formation change is most likely on the cards for Chelsea’s future, as well as a change in personnel. With Romelu Lukaku’s confirmed loan back to Inter Milan, he may just be the first of many to leave. There’s not enough room for attackers at Chelsea, considering their stacked rota, so we can expect some departures. Finally, expect that Tuchel is going in for the big prize.
