Tuchel Comments On Kounde, Reveals His Plan For Chelsea Defence

“That Azpi stayed, in actually the best position for Jules Kounde, these talks had an effect and it’s also the position of Trevoh Chalobah if we play in a back three,” Thomas Tuchel said when asked about Kounde opting to join Barcelona, not Chelsea, as quoted by the Evening Standard.

“Marc [Cucurella] can play in a back three on the left, Kalidou [Koulibaly] can play on the left of a three. Thiago Silva, who is not Benjamin Button and not getting younger, unfortunately, even though sometimes it seems like it.

“Maybe we bring one more player, maybe not. Still, we have Malang Sarr with us and Ethan Ampadu still with us.

“We have options but at the same time, we know how many games are coming. So let’s see if we can sign a player.”

Chelsea were keen on bringing Kounde but he ended up at Barcelona. The Blues were also interested in De Ligt, who joined Bayern, and Ake, who stayed at Man City.

Chelsea went on to sign Marc Cucurella, a left-back who's capable of playing t centre-back in a three-man defence.
