Tuchel yet to meet Chelsea new owners

Chelsea coach, Thomas Tuchel, in a recent statement revealed that he is yet to meet the club’s prospective new Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly, or know how much money he has to spend this summer in the transfer window.

Tuchel made this known on Tuesday during his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s tie with Leeds United on Wednesday.

American billionaire, Todd Boehly led consortium are close to completing a £4.25 billion takeover after agreeing on a deal to buy Chelsea last weekend.

Asked if he has met with Boehly, Tuchel said: “Absolutely not. Maybe if I had, I wouldn’t tell you! But I don’t have so I don’t need to lie.”

He added, “Nothing has changed for us at Cobham, we are still waiting for the confirmation, for things to progress, to hopefully have news for you and for us, for the team, to inject some positive energy.

“It feels like it will come to an end and give us possibilities to act, but at this very moment it’s not like this.”

“We are the only club at the moment that suffers like this, maybe the first club that ever did this.

“These are steps in the right direction. We are waiting for it for a long time.

“We need positive energy and a competitive atmosphere at the club. It’s very important for things to progress.”
