Thomas Tuchel provided some insight into Chelsea’s stance in the transfer market and revealed that the club is still looking for a left-sided defender.
“We are looking for guys who can play on the left side,” Tuchel said. “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.
“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.”
