Premier League: Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says club still in market for new players
FirstpostHowever, with French central defender Kurt Zouma close to securing a reported £25 million move to London rivals West Ham, Tuchel said the club were in talks over bringing in other players before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says the Champions League holders are still in the market for new players despite spending a club record £97 million on Romelu Lukaku. “I will be completely honest, there are negotiations between West Ham and Chelsea about Kurt,” said Tuchel at his eve-of-match press conference. “He’s had some personal and family issues and we allowed him to travel to France.” Tuchel’s West Ham counterpart David Moyes claimed the offer had been accepted and Zouma would be undergoing the medical in France.
