Tuchel comments on transfer speculation and updates on Zouma
27 Aug 2021
Thomas Tuchel has said that there is a possibility that there could be
more transfer activity at Chelsea before the window shuts and has
confirmed that Kurt Zouma is in talks with West Ham.

The Blues have signed Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Bettinelli so far this
summer and whilst he's very happy with the make-up of his Chelsea squad,
our head coach has hinted that there may be more arrivals before the end
of the window while also confirming that there could be further outgoings
from Stamford Bridge this month.
Tuchel sat down and spoke to the media at Cobham earlier today to preview
Saturday's trip to Liverpool and the boss confirmed that Kurt Zouma will
miss the Anfield clash due to personal reasons, and not due to speculation
linking him with a switch to West Ham.
'Kurt is not with us but it's not because of any negotiations,' Tuchel
explained at his pre-match media briefing.
'He has some personal family issues going on and we have allowed him to
travel to France to sort these out. That is why he is not with us at the
moment, nothing else, and is why he won't be involved tomorrow but I won't
lie to you, there have been some negotiations with West Ham.'
Tuchel was asked whether it was likely we could see further additions to
his squad before the window closes and while remaining tight-lipped on
that front, the boss did confirm that the Blues still have 'some ideas'
with regards to new signings.
'The transfer window is not over yet and we still have some ideas,' added
the German. 'We have discussions and we are trying, but not all decisions
are taken in terms of our squad. There are situations that we are aware
of.

Tuchel has said he's happy with his squad but hasn't ruled out adding to it
'We don't need something to make me happy, absolutely not because I am
very happy with the squad here, I am confident that we can be competitive
this season but of course, our eyes are open to what could happen before
the window closes.'
