Thomas Tuchel is still looking for a forward who can be relied upon to convert the chances his team creates, while also being able to meet the broader tactical demands of his system.

on Chelsea: "Of course, it's not easy when a new ownership is coming with the old board, so they're trying to find the right way and they're working on many things. And Chelsea will sign new players, they are on it behind the scenes."

Di Biagio: "Lukaku can still make the difference in Serie A, for his motivation, his desire to wear the jersey, he wants to give something more. He felt like he was the King at Inter, whereas something at Chelsea just wasn’t working."

Chelsea are working behind the scenes. Signings will arrive this summer, but they have internal issues to resolve first [futures of players and contract renewals]. This is the priority for Todd Boehly.

The Chelsea conundrum is actually a big task to figure out.The profiles in the attack are unbalanced, they lost key members from their strongest area (the defence),the midfield is possibly upgradable.And Tuchel has excelled before with 4 at the back rather than 3-4-3. It’s tough.
A Tuchel shape that looks effective is 4-4-2 (used it at PSG). Kovačić in a pivot with a new 6 (or Jorginho), Mount off the left wing with Dembélé maintaining width off the right. Havertz up front with a proper number 9. A dominant CB like Koulibaly.But that is tough to pull off.
@PremierLeaguePanel

If Tuchel sticks with 3-4-3 then Koundé is a must-buy for the right-sided CB role. There’s no other option on the market who has his reading of the game, athleticism & ball-playing ability. Rüdiger is a big loss but you can compensate for it by upgrading the CB on the other side. @PremierLeaguePanel

Chelsea have sent an 'important proposal' to Inter Milan for Cesare Casadei, but the Nerazzurri don't want to sell.

Todd Boehly will hold a possible videoconference call in coming hours to tell Inter Milan the price Chelsea wants to close the Lukaku operation.

Chelsea want to settle this as soon as possible and then focus on their own signings. (

Jules Koundé is keen on the move to Chelsea and is ‘convinced’ about a move to the Premier League.
