Chelsea have been handed a major boost ahead of the upcoming transfer window as Thomas Tuchel plots a rebuild in west London. The Blues have been heavily linked with several players this summer, with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to leave Stamford Bridge in the coming weeks once their contracts expire.
Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech have also been linked with an exit from Chelsea. Jorginho and N'Golo Kante, who each see their current deals expire next summer, also face a relatively uncertain future.
So, with an exodus of talent on the cards, the Blues boss has made it known that he intends to oversee a busy upcoming transfer window. Speaking to football.london, Tuchel said: "We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging, but we are up for the challenge.
