Seems like Tottenham are bit ahead of us at this moment, claims Thomas Tuchel

With Chelsea currently under new ownership, it has seen their summer window not go according to plan with the Blues missing out on more than a few players. However, having lost a few players to free-transfers before the window started, it has seen Chelsea reinforce and bring in five new faces already including the likes of Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly. But many fans and critics alike believe that it is not enough for the club to challenge for the highest honors.

“They took advantage of their situation. To have a stable club, ownership was clear, it was clear they would reach Champions League, and they took advantage to reinforce their squad very early, very directly, very straightforward, they had a calm pre-season and the roles were clear in their system,” Tuchel said, reported the Athletic.

Tottenham’s summer business combined with the fact that Antonio Conte is their manager has seen many tout Spurs as title challengers despite the fact that the season is barely one game old. However, Tuchel backed those claims and admitted that any Antonio Conte team is a title challenger especially one with this much quality.

“I think that every team Antonio Conte trains is a title contender. It’s always like this, in every country and with every team. For sure they strengthened the squad individually, they strengthened in the depth. It’s an incredibly demanding coach with an incredible record in domestic titles, so he will push them to the limit.
