Tuchel reflects on Chelsea’s season ahead of final game
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has warned the club’s prospective new owners the “disadvantage” his team faces in the transfer market this summer “is big”.
The Blues finished the season with a 1-0 win over Watford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but with Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club yet to be finalised. And that has led to Tuchel to tell his potential new boss that the club will have to be “fast and smart” once they are able to make moves in the transfer market.
Tuchel has also named the four other sides he thinks will rival the Blues for the Premier League title next season – leaving one of the ‘Big Six’ teams out. And Antonio Rudiger has shared a touching farewell message to Chelsea with the defender set to join Real Madrid.
