Tuchel says he is yet to hear anything about Chelsea bids

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel like many many of the club’s fans is still in the dark as to who would become the club’s new owner after Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

With the Ricketts family no longer in the race, there are only three bids left, and a final decision is expected to be taken in a matter of days.

Tuchel, in a pre-match statement ahead of their game vs Crystal Palace this weekend, was also asked if he had heard anything after the deadline for bids for those parties interested in buying the club passed yesterday.

The coach revealed he is not aware and is glad he is not involved in the process as it gives him time to focus on football.

‘To be very honest, no,’ he responded.

‘It’s still a process and I heard talks are still ongoing with the government. I’m still not involved which I’m glad about because we have a lot to focus on here. That’s where our focus goes to.

‘We hope things will be sorted out as soon as possible to have clarity, but I understand it’s not that easy.’
