Chelsea boss Tuchel wants more signings before transfer window shuts

The London club have been linked with moves for Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

CHELSEA MANAGER THOMAS Tuchel is looking to bring in more fresh recruits before the transfer widow closes later this week.

Wesley Fofana has been linked with a £70 million (€82m) move from Leicester to Chelsea, with the Frenchman having missed the Blues’ 2-1 win over the Foxes on Saturday, as well as Barcelona’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Chelsea are still pushing hard to complete a deal to bring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona, while also pressing for Everton’s Anthony Gordon.

“Right now I think we could need some more players in some positions, but it’s very close to the end of the transfer window and when September 1 comes, I will be a happy coach no matter what happens,” said Tuchel.

“I will try to find solutions and not think about what might have happened or what could be.

“Everything that matters is reality and at the moment (against Leicester) what mattered was finding a way to win.”

Tuchel, speaking ahead of Tuesday’s match away to Southampton, added: “What will matter at Southampton is the same, find a way to win, step up individually and push the team from my side. This is what we will do no matter if players will come or not.”

    Schumi didn’t replace Massa in ’09, Luca Badoer drove 3 races before Fisichella took over for the rest of the season.

    He considered replacing Massa, but didn’t.
    And Eddie Jordan would have given him the drive anyway – Mercedes were offering him money. And EJ would never turn down money. I’m sure he’s been paid to tell this story yet again. He drags it out every time Schumacher is in the news.
