Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed the profile for the next signing they are after in the transfer market. The Blues are searching for someone who can play on the left side of a tree-man defence.
Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly have been the only two arrivals at Stamford Bridge so far and the club are far from done in this transfer window.
Their pre-season defeats to Charlotte and Arsenal showed that the Chelsea squad needs some more additions. Tuchel will have to ensure that they pull their laces and get into the right mind frame with the 2022/23 Premier League season beginning in less than two weeks.
He told the club's official website:
"We are looking for guys who can play on the left side. Toni [Rudiger] played on the left side and was not a left-footed guy, so maybe Kalidou can play there because he plays in a back-four on the left side, but let’s see what is possible."
Tuchel added:
"It is not only about bringing players in for numbers; we need numbers, we also need quality so we will make some decisions late, not only about players but also about systems. Ideally we would have a left-footer."
If Chelsea's US pre-season tour is anything to go by, then we could see the Blues line up with a back three and a back four next season. Tuchel is therefore looking at a very specific profile that allows him to shift systems without much compromise.
Chelsea planning to hijack PSG's deal for Bundesliga player at eleventh hour
French outlet FootMercato report that Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) hopes of landing RB Leipzig's versatile fullback Nordi Mukiele could face a late threat from the Blues. In addition to agreeing personal terms with him, the French giants have also agreed to a deal with the German club involving a transfer fee of €16 million
However, Chelsea have devised a plan to hijack this deal. They are ready to offer unsettled striker Timo Werner in a swap deal to the Bundesliga club in exchange for Mukiele. It is unclear whether Werner will be sent to his former club on loan or permanently.
PSG, however, remain confident that they can get the deal across the line. It will be interesting to see if the west London club are able to capture the outgoing Leipzig defender.

Bro There is No place in this formation maybe We sub kovacic
so it's the wrong formation. it's way too defensive. in this formation Kante should be where Jorgi is and Mount can play alongside Kova

Lol so y is he running this season 😂 almost took juve to Europa league they had to kick him out 😂 now look how he successfully took united to Europa league now he wanna ran away I pray United doesn’t agree 😆
Like United was winning Sextuplets before Ronaldo. Its not the first time Man United is playing in Europa League. Also Juventus won nothing without Ronaldo 😂 went trophyless for the first time in last decade. So don’t tell me who’s the problem here. Vlahovic was scoring for fun until he joined Juventus. Juventus got less league points than last season. He’s running because its not his level to play in the Europa League while his teammates are fine with it because of their losers mentality

Am slowly believing that Tuchel is good a motivational speaker than manager. I wish Roman was still around because this time around he would be talking to zidane and other guys to take over. I know some few characters are not ready but Chelsea still has a squad to compete better.

I still fail to believe we don't have the profile to implement the 4-2-3-1 formation. with courage and proper the coming of sterling and koulibaly and probably few if any. this can highly silence many but we have instilled fear and lack of self belief to say they can't implement certain formation.

Thomas are you still on break? Wake up Arsenal are NOT better than Chelsea when fully charged and commitment boosted. The blues will always come back to rise to the sky. Don't be discouraged. Activate your plans B &C. Winning first 2022/23 EPL game against Everton is a must plan B follow up with at least 6 wins in a row, get the blues to the top of table before December 25th 2022 plan C. If necessary employ a Sports Psychologist to talk sense to the boys and you will never regret. These boys are world champions never forget that status,. all you need to do is remind them by motivation. Good luck.

Kai & Werner can’t be our main strikers. He need clinical finisher. Like C.Ronaldo, he can score with his weak foot, right foot, long range, big game player also best player to score headers. With James providing beautiful crosses C.Ronaldo would score headers for fun. Just get Ronaldo for 2 seasons and he’ll guarantee 40-50 goals with the quality of players we have.

I think Thomas is afraid of players who are richer and more influential than him as a coach. Also, he thinks that as a coach of CFC who are currently holding only one championship (world cup of clubs) he thinks he knows it all. Otherwise, why can't he humble himself and listen to suggestions,. football is changing, the coach must change his stiff neck position and accommodate accomplished players such as Ronaldo7 and Neymar 10 for EPL title and do away with tired legs eg Jordigho5. captain failure Azpilicueta 28, there are so many players in Chelsea today that do not merit a shirt. Do away with Kennedy, Saul, Loftus Cheek, please don't let Alonso, Reece James, Werner, Pulisic, Hakim Ziyec and Kante go hold on to these key players. They are the players that make CFC succeed.

Tuchel are u mad pls change your formations to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1
The 433 he used against Arsenal in the 1st half n get thumped. Chelsea problems go deeper than systems. There are so many deadwoods (players) which needs to be moved. Players like Barkley, batsuayi, Kennedy, Jorginho, Sarr etc.

So far Mason Mount is the only player in our attack showing qualities of finishing abilities. no one else. Sure after that lackluster display against Charlotte and Arsenal, it's obvious that we need one more world class defender but we also need another finisher, potentially a natural striker.
