It has been a busy summer transfer window for Chelsea.

The Blues have tried to sign some its targets but didn’t get all the desired players.

Chelsea have already signed Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka and Marc Cucurella this summer.

Chelsea are not done yet, as the Blues are also targeting Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Thomas Tuchel has admitted that signing all his targets this summer won’t be an easy feat.

“I gave Todd [Boehly] a list and it would have been possible to fight straight for the title with those signings. But that was a pretty unrealistic list! We can play fantasy football,” Thomas Tuchel said at a press conference.

“In the end we need to pay for it, we need to convince players and other clubs to give us their very best players, it’s simply not happening. I’m super happy with what we succeeded with so far. They’re fantastic signings.

“If it’s [transfer window] not finished, we try to bring further quality and with further quality, of course, the ambition level rises.”
