7M Exclusive - Chelsea new boss to sign 5 players

Chelsea's new chairman Todd Boehly promised Tuchel that signing six new signings would cost 200 million pounds.

Matthijs de Ligt, Kounde and Sterling are the main targets. Clauss, Dembele and Richarlyson are also included.

Chelsea are rumored to strengthen their defensive end after talks between Tuchel and the new owners, while there are no pressing needs in the midfield and forward line.

De Ligt may not renew his contract, giving the Blues an opportunity. Sevilla defender Kounde is also a long-term target for Chelsea, along with French international Clauss, who is an option at right-back.

Manchester City star Sterling is set to enter the transfer market. Everton striker Richarlison is familiar with the Premier League, and Barcelona winger Dembele is also an attacking option.
