After Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly signed on the dotted line for Chelsea during their tour of the United States, the excitement levels amongst the fanbase went through the roof but this feeling didn't last for too long.
A crushing 4-0 defeat at the Camping World Stadium against Premier League rivals Arsenal brought the Blues back down to reality. Despite all the hard work going on off the field by new owner Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, a lot more is needed to be done to satisfy a disgruntled Thomas Tuchel. The German was certainly in a fiery mood in his post-match press conference where he made an urgent appeal to 'quality players' who are needed at the expense of multiple members of the squad who are wanting out this summer like Timo Werner.
"There is no update, no update," Tuchel most recently said on the transfer front. "The analysing of the season does not change because of this game. Unfortunately, it proved my point and the last week proves my point. I would prefer to not be right and I did everything to prove myself wrong, but at the moment I feel I was right when I look at the last season and at the parts of the game where we struggled and how we struggled.
