Tuchel requested Chelsea board to make this major signing in January
According to latest reports, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has reportedly told the Chelsea board the signing he needs ahead of the January transfer window.
However, according to Ian McGarry from the Transfer Podcast, Tuchel has urged the Chelsea board to sign another striker in January.
“It is our information that he has requested from the club that they recruit a striker in the January window,” claimed McGarry.
“This has been significantly influenced now as well by the fact Romelu Lukaku will miss at least two games but maybe up to a month in the coming weeks, as well as Timo Werner being out as well.
“From what I’m told, there is no definite shortlist that’s been formulated as yet, but you can see the point that they’ve been heavily reliant on Lukaku in such a short space of time since he arrived back at the club for his second spell.”
