Thomas Tuchel’s one-year Chelsea anniversary and the latest transfer news is the focus of our content today as the Premier League continues its winter break.
As well as looking back on Tuchel’s rollercoaster year in charge of the Blues, we turn the spotlight on reported Tottenham target Franck Kessie and round up all the latest gossip.
Tuchel’s tenure
Things could hardly have started better for the German boss after taking over from sacked club legend Frank Lampard in West London last January.
Within four months of his tenure, the 48-year-old delivered the club’s second-ever Champions League triumph following a stunning European run.
That turned up the expectation for the 2021-22 campaign and following a strong start, their title charge has dwindled in recent months.
We look at Tuchel’s first year in charge and see what the future holds at Stamford Bridge.
Transfer Talk
There are now just five days of the January transfer window remaining and plenty of clubs look set to have a busy time before the deadline.
Not least Tottenham, who are frantically trying to bring in multiple new faces to bolster Antonio Conte’s options for the second half of the season.
One of those could be AC Milan’s all-action midfielder Kessie but they look set to face competition from Barcelona for the Ivory Coast international’s signature.
Spurs are also looking to sign Porto winger Luis Diaz, though the latest reports claim they have seen their opening offer rejected.
All the latest on that plus other whispers in the transfer world are discussed in our daily transfer column.
