For Thomas Tuchel, the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé from Barcelona to Chelsea should be a top priority. Should the coach get his former protégé, it should have a major impact on the club’s further transfer plans.

Tuchel attracts Barcelona star Dembélé: Chelsea FC is considered a hot contender for the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé. Thomas Tuchel is said to want to bring the Frenchman, whom he once coached in Dortmund, to London. According to “Football London”, which refers to “Barca Times”, Tuchel is said to have explained his plan with him personally to the striker. However, a Dembélé purchase would have major consequences in London.

Short, compact, clear

Too many forwards at Chelsea: Chelsea already have a number of well-known attackers, many of whom are unhappy with their playing times. “Football London” names Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku as examples. The question of how Tuchel would divide the minutes after a Dembélé purchase can probably only be answered with one word: sales.

Influence on transfer planning: “Football London” on possible consequences of the transfer: “If Dembélé is signed, then as a regular player. And it should have a big impact on everything the Blues do in this transfer window.”
