WHAT HAPPENED? Tuchel has spoken out about the club's transfer situation amid their ongoing links with Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It has also been reported that Chelsea have made a bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.

WHAT THEY SAID: “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,” Tuchel told a press conference. “I will try to find solutions and not think about what might have happened or what could be."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Chelsea have already spent big this summer by bringing in the likes of Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly. Leicester defender Wesley Fofana is also reportedly set to complete a move to Stamford Bridge, however, the Blues still look short in attack and have only scored five goals in their first four Premier League games.
