So I’m very much an Ousmane Dembélé fan, very much, and I’m willing to take the risks he brings to bring him in. But it seems if he does come in then he’ll be Chelsea’s highest earner. Would you be ok with that?
SportsMail understands Christian Pulisic is another player under discussion in the De Ligt swap deal, the other is Timo Werner.

Thomas Tuchel is open to the sale of Hakim Ziyech and has meanwhile spoken to Raheem Sterling who he wants to bring to
#Chelsea
as part of his new-look attack.

Apart from Raheem Sterling,
#Chelsea
are prioritising two centre-backs and a full-back. Jules Kounde is their prime target while discussions have taken place with Juventus over a possible deal for Matthijs de Ligt.
#Chelsea
also like Lens full-back Jonathan Clauss.

Matthijs de Ligt is very appreciated by Thomas Tuchel, that’s why
#Chelsea
are keen on the defender. There have been discussions to see how much he would cost.
