Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel bemoaned the fact that he played with five players over 30’s around the same position in the game against Everton.

Chelsea’s three centre-backs and two central midfielders for the game at the Goodison Park were all in their 30s.

Chelsea are targeting some new players before the end of the transfer window, and Thomas Tuchel has revealed what he’s looking for.

According to the Blues boss, he wants a good mix of youth and experience in his squad.

Tuchel has said he’s targeting young and fast players to complete his team.

“It is a lot of experience, it is maybe another of age, it is a lot of experience and they have their quality and they know what they are doing,” said Tuchel after Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Everton.

“We also need to make sure we have a new generation to take over in the next years but the guys are strong that is why they are under contract and the guys have our trust.

“There needs to be [balance]. I think it is necessary. The game in general is very physical and demands a lot. This is the situation. We knew it before.

“Azpi is the legend that he is, Thiago is in the moment still very important to us and when we had the chance to sign Kalidou we did it because we believe that he has some years ahead of him.

“But in general it is the fact that like the goalkeeper and the double sixes are in their thirties, and that is just what it is.

“Pace is an issue and speed is an issue. In all signings, this is the demand of the game that you can play one on ones, that you can defend space if needed with high-speed runs.”
