Thomas Tuchel told £140m Chelsea transfer plan 'guarantees' Todd Boehly Champions League wish

Jamie Redknapp has claimed Chelsea would 'guarantee' Champions League qualification with the signings of Wesley Fofana, Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The trio have been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Thomas Tuchel looks to put his stamp on the Blues.

Todd Boehly has already welcomed five new faces to west London this summer. The arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina, who has returned to the United States on loan, has cost the American-led consortium an eye-watering fee in the region of £170million. But, despite the window slamming shut in just a couple of weeks, Chelsea look well positioned to make a few more additions to the squad.

football.london understand that the Blues are currently holding talks with Fofana's representatives over a potential move, with a fee yet to be agreed upon with Leicester City. Meanwhile, regarding De Jong, it's understood that Chelsea are still in talks as Tuchel demands more creativity in his midfield.
